Pro-Palestinian activists committed to ending “settler violence” in Israel helped organize Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-CA) controversial trip to the West Bank.

A representative for Khanna, a California Democrat who is an outspoken progressive, said the confrontation occurred Wednesday in the middle of a three-day tour of the West Bank.

In an interview, Ro Khanna recounts the fear at being detained and says anyone who visits the West Bank “would conclude that it is apartheid.”

"I don't want vigilantes of any kind, and we are working to put them under the law," the Israeli prime minister said.
