The family of the American citizen who was killed by Israeli settlers asking us to investigate Israeli conflict news

Washington, DC, family Saif Allah MusalitA 20 -year -old United States from Florida was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, calling on Washington to launch its own investigation into the accident and hold the perpetrators accountable.

The Mosalit family said in a statement that the Israeli settlers surrounded him for three hours during the attack on Friday and attacked the paramedics who were trying to reach it.

The family said that the murdered young man, known as Saif, was “a nice young man, working hard, enjoying deep respect, and working to build his dreams.”

“This is an unimaginable nightmare and the injustice that no family should face,” the statement added.

“We ask the US State Department to lead an immediate investigation and hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif responsible for their crimes. We ask for justice.”

Washington has previously resisted calls to investigate killing American citizens By the Israeli forces. Instead, US officials say Israel is able to investigate its violations.

But Israeli investigations rarely lead to criminal charges against settlers or soldiers, despite their well -documented violations against the Palestinians.

The Foreign Ministry late on Friday said it “has no priority than the safety and security of American citizens abroad.”

“We are aware of the death of an American citizen in the West Bank. When an American citizen dies abroad, we are ready to provide consulate services,” the department spokesman said.

Israeli settlers closed the 20 -year -old Palestinian sword, while US officials remained silent.

The Israeli forces have killed at least nine American citizens since 2022, including the veteran Al -Jazeera correspondent Abu Akleh.

But none of the incidents did not lead to criminal charges.

The American-Arab Discrimination Committee (ADC) said that the United States “must stop treating the life of Palestinian America as consuming.”

The Dawa Group said in a statement: “Israeli settlers closed Saifallah in America, which is 20 years old, while US officials remained silent.”

“Saif Allah was born and grew up in Florida. He was visiting the family in the summer in the West Bank when the settlers struck him to death while protesting the illegal land attacks.”

American Muslims asked Palestine (AMP) whether Trump would remain faithful to his pledge to give the priorities of the US interests.

“Will he get his promise” America first “when he is a Palestinian American who was taken his life? Or will he move his head again to Israel, regardless of the cost in the blood?” Amir said in a statement.

But the group confirmed that American citizenship should not be a condition for justice. Another Palestinian was killed in the same settlers’ attack, such as Musalit, on Saturday.

Amir said: “And let us be unambiguously clear: whether the Palestinian holds American citizenship or not, every single murder must be prohibited by this system explicitly, punishing and condemning it.”

The United States provides billions of dollars in military aid to Israel. It also protects his diplomatic ally in international forums, and is often used Vito power To prevent the proposals of the United Nations Security Council that criticize Israeli violations.

On Saturday, the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) called on contact with the legislators and urged them to condemn the murder of Musalit.

“This was not an isolated accident. It was part of a long pattern of violence against American citizens by Israeli soldiers and settlers,” the group said in a statement.

Sarah Leah Whitson, head of the DAWN law group, said that the United States has tools to follow up accountability in the Musallet case, noting that Washington is following criminal charges against Hamas officials for killing American citizens during the October 7, 2023 attack in Israel.

“What is really missing (in the current case) is the political will from the United States government to protection American citizens Of Palestinian origin or the Americans protest the Israeli actions in the West Bank.

“What you really do is that he puts a precedent of encouragement and puts a precedent for an open season for the Americans as there is an open season for the Palestinians.”
