Summary
The chain team, along with other journalists, were working near the village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, and had decided to leave the area when "a group of four settlers blocked the road with their car," explained the chain on its site. Since the beginning of the war in Gaza in October 2023 following the unprecedented Hamas attack on 7 October, the United Nations has reported an increase in acts of violence attributed to settlers, while several Israeli ministers call for annexation of some or all of the West Bank. "The Israeli settlers, brandishing American-made M4 (military mutter) kept me and other Americans prisoner during my trip to Palestine," Khanna wrote on X. When the Israeli army arrived at the scene, "it stood on the side of the settlers and our detention continued," he added.
