A Senate committee is scheduled to vote on holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. This action follows his invocation of the Fifth Amendment and refusal to answer questions during a hearing concerning COVID-19. Separately, senior Democrats have accused the Trump administration of fostering a climate of violence by its policies regarding Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. A group of 19 Democratic senators and representatives sent a letter urging the restoration of sanctions against extremist settlers and calling for independent US investigations into the deaths of nine US citizens in the West Bank since 2022.
