The United States is reportedly planning to sanction an Israeli military unit, the Netzach Yehuda battalion, for alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians, marking the first time the US has taken such a step against an Israeli military unit.

The US State Department has imposed sanctions on Ben Zion Bentzi Gopstein, a far-right Israeli activist, and two Israeli organizations for their destabilizing activities and fundraising efforts supporting sanctioned settlers in the West Bank.
