The US is expected to announce sanctions within days against the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for human rights violations in the occupied West Bank.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded, warning that it is "forbidden" to sanction the IDF.
In a statement to X, Netanyahu said, "I have worked against the imposition of sanctions on Israeli citizens."
"At a time when our soldiers are fighting the monsters of terror, the intention to impose a sanction on a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a low level of morale. The government headed by me will act with all means against these movements ” , Netanyahu wrote.
His political rival and war cabinet minister Benny Gantz has commented on his statement, warning that sanctions would set a "dangerous precedent".
"I have great respect for our American friends, but the decision to impose sanctions on an IDF unit and its soldiers sets a dangerous precedent and sends the wrong message to our common wartime enemies. I intend to act to change this decision" , he said.
