U.S. Expected to Impose Sanctions on IDF Unit for Alleged West Bank Violations

in Compliance, Sanctions


The report suggests that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is poised to announce sanctions against the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) “Netzah Yehuda” battalion due to alleged human rights violations in the West Bank. This move, if enacted, would mark the first instance of the United States imposing sanctions on an Israeli military unit. The sanctions, reportedly, would prohibit the battalion and its members from receiving any form of U.S. military assistance or training. This action is said to be based on a 1997 law authored by former Senator Patrick Leahy, which restricts aid to foreign security, military, and police units accused of human rights violations.

A panel within the State Department, established to investigate such violations in accordance with the Leahy law, purportedly recommended disqualifying multiple Israeli military and police units operating in the West Bank from receiving U.S. aid. Secretary Blinken indicated during a press conference in Italy that determinations would be made based on the panel’s investigation, with announcements expected in the coming days. The decision regarding the Netzah Yehuda unit is said to stem from incidents predating the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and occurring solely within the West Bank.

It is noted that other Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and police units investigated did not face sanctions after addressing their alleged misconduct. The U.S. State Department declined to offer further comment on the matter.

Background information reveals that the Netzah Yehuda battalion, initially established for ultra-orthodox soldiers, saw an influx of young radical right-wing settlers over time. The unit came under scrutiny following reported incidents of violence against Palestinian civilians, leading to investigations by the U.S. State Department starting in late 2022.

One notable incident involved the death of 80-year-old Palestinian American Omar Assad in January 2022, who died after being arrested by Netzah Yehuda soldiers at a West Bank checkpoint. Following several such incidents, the battalion was relocated from the West Bank to the Golan Heights in January 2023.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the prospect of sanctions on the Israel Defense Forces, labeling it as absurd and morally reprehensible, particularly amidst ongoing conflict with Hamas. He vowed to oppose such measures vigorously.
