US identifies Israeli military units for human rights violations
The US has revealed that five Israeli military units were involved in gross violations of human rights preceding Israel’s war on Gaza which began last October.
While four units have taken steps to address these violations, one case is still under review.
State Department spokesman Vedant Patel has emphasized ongoing discussions with Israel regarding these issues.
Concerns were raised about Israel’s compliance with international law, particularly regarding the use of US-supplied weapons.
Reports suggest the US may consider sanctions against the NetzahYehuda battalion for rights violations in the West Bank.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stressed the importance of a thorough process to assess such violations, referencing the Leahy Law.
This mandates suspending military aid to units implicated in human rights abuses.
The situation underscores ongoing scrutiny of Israel’s conduct and its implications for US policy.
