Israel frees settler suspects, Brad Lander says he was detained in West Bank, Mamdani in news
Photo: NBC NewsIsrael has released nine of 10 settler suspects arrested over attacks on a US journalist and European diplomats in the West Bank and placed them under house arrest. A Jerusalem court ordered the release late Wednesday, according to the law firm Honenu. Police said one suspect remains in custody and the investigation continues. Masked settlers were filmed assaulting Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine, who needed finger surgery. Separately, congressional candidate Brad Lander told NBC News that Israeli soldiers detained him during a West Bank olive harvest and freed him with a warning, while others in his group stayed in detention. In New York, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Neon are offering four free screenings of a Harlem documentary on Oct. 24 and 25.
Right-leaning outlets focus on Mamdani. The Post disputes an Atlantic column and Obama's remarks on Ilhan Omar, and Breitbart reports he has signed one bill in 10 months, citing anonymous City Hall sources. Left-leaning NBC leads with Lander's account. Alternative outlets split between Al Jazeera's report on the releases, citing Yesh Din's criticism of arrests, and Deadline's screening announcement.
How the sides differ Right sources focus on criticizing Mayor Mamdani and Democrats; left sources lead with Lander's detention; alternative sources cover settler-suspect releases and a Mamdani film event.
