A 10-year-old Palestinian boy has died in hospital more than a week after an Israeli soldier shot him in the occupied West Bank. Saddam Rajab was wounded on January 28 during a military operation in Tulkarm.

Israeli forces detained an ambulance transporting him into hospital and held his father in custody for an hour. The soldier reportedly boasted about shooting him.

    Shows the US doesn’t control Israel like everyone thought. And, Trump has demonstrated that the US has very little power over how other countries work… so, Undecided made a decision, and that was the wrong one. Oh well.

          The US never stopped providing weapons to Israel is their point I assume. Even under Biden.
