The US plans to impose sanctions on an Israeli military unit, reportedly Netzah Yehuda, over human rights violations. This marks the first time the US has targeted an Israeli military unit and strains US-Israel relations. The move follows a series of incidents, including the death of a Palestinian-American man in Israeli custody. Israeli leaders denounce the decision, arguing it undermines Israel’s efforts during wartime. However, human rights groups support the sanctions, citing systemic abuses. The US review predates recent conflicts, highlighting ongoing concerns over human rights violations. Israeli figures across the political spectrum express opposition to the sanctions.
