In an unprecedented move, the United States is preparing to enact sanctions against an army unit of its steadfast ally, Israel's Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). As reported by Axios, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is anticipated to declare sanctions targeting the Israel Defense Forces' "Netzah Yehuda" battalion in the near future. Allegations of human rights violations within the Israeli-held West Bank have prompted this action against the Netzah Yehuda battalion.
