What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on the detention claim and place it in the occupied West Bank, with NBC News identifying Brad Lander by name and as a New York congressional candidate.

The Independent instead foregrounds a volunteer’s account that the group offered to leave and was taken to a police station, which appears only in its extract.
