Reporters Challenge State Spox on Israel Settlement Policy

During a press briefing, State Department Spokesperson Vedant Patel faced intense questioning from reporters regarding US policy on settlements and the militarization of forces. Reporter Tom Bateman challenged Patel, stating, "You say it’s your policy but it’s not, it’s something that you’re saying but what you’re actually doing is militarizing the force that allows settlements to exist." Patel defended the policy, asserting, "It absolutely is our policy."
