There he says he was stopped and not allowed to leave for over an hour by armed Israeli settlers and then Israeli soldiers.  He says he was only allowed to continue after contacting the U.S. embassy in Israel.  U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee later called his trip a \u201cstunt\u201d and said Khanna went to a military-controlled area without prior clearance. Israeli officials have also countered Representative Khanna\u2019s narrative.  We hear about this incident from Congressman Ro Khanna himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a file photo Rep.
