In the language of a 17th-century pirate, leaders in Israel be cursin' the potential sanctions that be comin' from the U.S. against an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) battalion accused of violatin' human rights back in 2022. The U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, be preparin' to announce sanctions against the IDF battalion "Netzah Yehuda," markin' the first time the U.S. be layin' sanctions on military units operated by Israel. These sanctions could be causin' more trouble between the allies as Israel be fightin' in Gaza.The Israeli officials be speakin' out against these sanctions, includin' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who be swearin' to oppose 'em with all his might. This be followin' criticism of the battalion after the death of a Palestinian-American man, Omar Assad, who be found dead after bein' detained at a West Bank checkpoint.The U.S. be investigatin' the situation and may be makin' an announcement soon. The tension between the U.S. and Israel be risin', with the potential for further strainin' of the relationship between the allies.
