  "account": "Israeli forces detained US congressional candidate Brad Lander and several others in the occupied West Bank during an olive harvest. The group included American, British, and Canadian volunteers accompanying Palestinian farmers. Lander later stated he was released after a brief warning, noting dozens of rabbis and other participants remained in custody. He criticized the occupation of the West Bank as a crime under international law, while the Israeli Foreign Ministry accused him of seeking confrontation. Lander, a Jewish American and former New York City Comptroller, is running for the US House of Representatives in New York’s 10th District.",
