Congressman Maxwell Frost Statement on the Murder of Saifullah Kamel Musallet
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) issued a statement following reports of the horrific murder of Florida resident, Saifullah Kamel Musallet, a Palestinian-American visiting family in the West Bank.
In a statement, Rep. Frost says:
“The horrific and cold-blooded murder of an American citizen by Israeli settlers in the West Bank cannot be ignored. Saifullah Kamel Musallet, a Palestinian-American and Floridian, was brutally murdered, and his attackers reportedly deliberately obstructed medical assistance to ensure he would die.
“The loss of his life serves as a stark reminder of the pain, suffering, and conflict ongoing in the West Bank and Gaza.
“As our country's self-proclaimed peacekeeper, Donald Trump has a moral and constitutional obligation to direct the Department of State to conduct a thorough investigation and, more importantly, to demand full justice and accountability for those responsible for this heinous act. Our country must ensure the protection and safety of Americans abroad.”
