Israel’s Prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to reject any sanctions on the country’s military, after reports that the US plans to cut aid to one unit.

There are indications that the US will sanction one of the units of the Israel Defense Force, the Netzah Yehuda battalion, over alleged human rights violations in the occupied West Bank.

However, Netanyahu said on Sunday, that he will fight the sanctions with all his strength, while the Israeli military said it is not aware of the issue as the unit, Netzah Yehuda, has been operating in accordance with international law.
