In the language of a 17th-century pirate, the Biden administration may be preparing to announce sanctions against an Israel Defense Forces battalion for alleged human rights violations in the West Bank. Arrr, mateys, the U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken could make this announcement soon, marking the first time the U.S. has targeted Israeli military units in such a way. These sanctions, if imposed, would cut off training and assistance to the battalion. The U.S. is restricted by the Leahy Law from aiding countries involved in human rights abuses. Yarrr, the tension between the U.S. and Israel seems to be escalating, with suggestions to cut military aid to certain Israeli units. The U.S. also recently imposed sanctions on individuals and entities linked to Israeli settler violence, showing growing frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.The U.S. is not just focusing on Israel, as sanctions were recently announced against Iran after an attack on Israel. The Biden administration faces criticism for not being tough enough on Iran, but they vow to continue pressuring Iran and other groups involved in terrorism and human rights abuses.
