Netanyahu Vows to Defend Israeli Military Unit Against U.S. Sanctions


Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to fight against any sanctions imposed on Israeli military units by the United States. The focus of concern is the Netzah Yehuda battalion, which has been accused of human rights violations in the occupied West Bank. Reports suggest that Washington is considering measures against this battalion for alleged rights violations.

Netanyahu’s statement came in response to Axios news site’s report that the U.S. was planning to impose sanctions on the Netzah Yehuda battalion. The Israeli military, however, maintains that the battalion operates according to international law principles. The situation follows U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s determination that Israel had violated the Leahy law, which prohibits providing military assistance to units committing gross human rights violations.

As tensions continue in the Middle East, Netanyahu’s commitment to defending the Israeli military unit underscores the complex geopolitical landscape in the region.
