MEXICO CITY (France24).- For the first time, the United States is expected to impose sanctions on an Israeli military unit. The Netzah Yehuda Battalion, initially created for ultra-Orthodox Jewish soldiers in Israel, quickly expanded to become a popular unit among radical right-wing settlers. The group has been accused for years of a series of human rights abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The first news about the possible sanctions came over the weekend, when Israeli and American media reported that the Administration of the President of the United States, Joe Biden, was preparing to sanction Netzah Yehuda.

Citing three unnamed US sources “with knowledge of the matter”, news website Axios said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was expected to announce the unprecedented measure against the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) “in matter of days.”

The sanctions concern alleged human rights violations committed by the unit in the West Bank before the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7.

“A unit every army should be ashamed of”

The news sparked angry reactions in Israel. “The IDF should not be sanctioned!” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote in a post on a war in the Gaza Strip against Hamas.

Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s political rival and a key centrist minister in the Israeli war cabinet, responded similarly: “We greatly respect our American friends, but imposing sanctions on unity is a dangerous precedent and sends the wrong message to our common enemies.” in times of war.”

One of the main reasons for the anger is that the United States would need to invoke the Leahy Act of 1997 to sanction the battalion. Leahy has previously been used to blacklist Indonesian military units accused of kidnapping and murdering political activists, as well as members of the Pakistani military implicated in assassination campaigns in Afghanistan.

“Sanctioning an IDF unit is a terrible stain on the Israeli Defense Forces. If you look at the group
