Rights advocates call on the Trump administration to ensure accountability for the killing of Sayfollah Musallet.
Israeli settlers have beaten to death a United States citizen in the occupied West Bank, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.
Settlers attacked and killed Sayfollah Musallet – who was in his early 20s – in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, on Friday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Musallet, also known as Saif al-Din Musalat, had travelled from his home in Florida to visit family in Palestine, his cousin Fatmah Muhammad said in a social media post.
Another Palestinian, identified by the Health Ministry as Mohammed Shalabi, was fatally shot by settlers during the attack.
