Castro Statement On Detention Of American Rabbis, Volunteers In The West Bank
SAN ANTONIO, TX - Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) released the following statement:
"Today, Israeli forces detained dozens of volunteers, including a congressional candidate and rabbis, in the West Bank. Days earlier, settlers attacked European diplomats and a Washington Post journalist.
"If American public servants, diplomats, and journalists are targeted, imagine what Palestinian families face every day.
"Congress should take up my bill, the Stop the Settlements Act, to impose sanctions on anyone driving settlements in the West Bank or Gaza, including construction companies and banks. It's backed by 59 members of Congress, including the bill's latest co-sponsors, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Rep. Robert Garcia, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Deborah Ross, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and Rep. Sharice Davids."
