AI Summary:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said Ayyad’s family has “no confidence in any investigation conducted by Israeli authorities” The letter, penned by CAIR and its Chicago chapter, was sent on Wednesday. Addressed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Attorney General Pam Bondi, it underscored legal provisions, including the US-Israel Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty. Ayyad, a Chicago area resident and father of five, was one of two US citizens killed in settler attacks in the West Bank in July. The family believes that settlers died from inhaling tear gas and smoke from burning vehicles. Earlier in July, Israeli settlers also beat to death Sayfollah Musallet, 20, near Sinjil. Rights advocates have long argued that Israel is not equipped to investigate its own crimes. For example, no charges have been brought in the case of Musallet’s fatal beating nearly one month later. Since 2022, Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed at least 10 US citizens. None of the cases have resulted in criminal charges.
