America’s Action Against Israel’s Military Draws Fury from Benjamin Netanyahu

The friendship between Israel and America is very old, but the Biden administration is considering imposing sanctions on a military contingent of the Jewish country. This is the first time that America can take action against its friend Israel. According to the report of Axios, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken may soon announce a ban on the Israeli military contingent ‘Netzah Yehuda’. This military contingent is accused of human rights violations in the West Bank. According to the information, America will no longer provide training to this military contingent.

According to the report, after the ban, this military contingent will not be able to use American weapons. In 1977, US Senator Patrick Leahy drafted a law under which if any military or police force is accused of human rights violations, the US Army does not provide it with training or weapons. This is known as Liahi law.

Israeli PM got angry at America

Blinken had hinted about the ban during the meeting of G7 countries in Italy. Let us tell you that these restrictions will be regarding the military action in the West Bank which was already taken on 7 October. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu became furious over this decision of America. He said such restrictions should not be imposed on the Israeli army. We have talked to senior US officials regarding this and that any kind of ban on us is not appropriate.

We Are Ready to fight against terrorists

Netanyahu said, at a time when our soldiers are fighting a war against terrorists. In such a situation, taking action against the Israeli army contingent is against morality. Our government will stand against such steps in every way. The report also said that the US had also conducted investigations against other IDF troops and police, on which no action would be taken.

Let us tell you that in the Netzah Yehuda battalion of the Israeli army, such people are recruited who can serve in the army without compromising their beliefs. This is a kind of religious group which is not even allowed to talk to women. At the same time, it also provides facilities for religious studies. This is a contingent of foot soldiers. This unit was sent out of the West Bank in December 2022.
