The United States has announced an extra $3.5 billion in military assistance to Israel, part of a larger $14.5 billion package approved by Congress. This funding, augmenting the annual $3 billion US military aid to Israel, includes support for the Netzah Yehuda battalion, a unit facing allegations of human rights abuses in the West Bank. Despite these accusations, the US State Department has chosen not to impose sanctions, citing Israel's efforts to address the concerns. This decision aligns with US laws limiting aid to foreign forces involved in human rights violations, sparking renewed debate over America's role in the ongoing conflict.
