America discovered 5 Israeli items dedicated “particular person incidents of gross violations of human rights” in opposition to Palestinians within the West Financial institution earlier than the Hamas assault in October, the State Division mentioned Monday.
4 of the items have taken remedial measures, State Division deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel informed reporters, with consultations ongoing over the fifth unit. The announcement comes after the Biden administration determined to carry off on its resolution to blacklist the fifth unit, an infantry brigade of largely ultra-Orthodox troopers that has been accused of abuses in opposition to Palestinians within the West Financial institution.
Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned he would combat in opposition to anybody who plans to impose sanctions on items of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). He made these remarks after studies surfaced that the US is planning to sanction different IDF and police items for alleged rights violations within the West Financial institution. “If anybody thinks they’ll impose sanctions on a unit of the IDF — I’ll combat it with all my energy,” Netanyahu mentioned in a press release.
