US Congressman Jerrold Nadler has said the “brutal murder” of 20‑year‑old Palestinian American Sayfollah Musallet last week reflects “epidemic levels” of violence in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

“Reports that the settlers prevented ambulances from reaching the victims and IDF soldiers were also present but failed to intervene are deeply disturbing,” Nadler wrote in a social media post.

Nadler called on other members of Congress to support his West Bank Violence Prevention Act “to prevent these kinds of acts of violence in the West Bank and to punish all those who commit such acts in the West Bank, regardless of their nationality”.
