US to sanction IDF unit for West Bank violations
The Guardian — April 21, 2024, 03:00 PM UTC
Summary: The US is preparing to sanction the IDF's Netzah Yehuda battalion for human rights violations in the West Bank. This would be the first time the US targets an IDF unit under the 1997 Leahy law. Israeli strikes in Gaza killed 18, including 14 children. The Biden administration is more critical of Israeli actions in the West Bank than in Gaza. Gaza conflict has displaced 85% of the population and killed 34,000 Palestinians.
