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.
