Is the US preparing to impose sanctions on an Israel Defense Forces unit for the first time? The reason we asked this question was that America's sanctions against the crime machine Netzah Yehuda were brought to the agenda. In line with these sanctions, it was claimed that Netzah Yehuda battalion members could be prohibited from receiving any US military aid or training. If these sanctions are implemented, it will be the first time Washington has imposed sanctions on an Israeli military unit.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that he would reject all embargoes and reacted to the allegations. However, no final decision has been made. Israeli officials announced that such a decision is not expected for now. The Netzah Yehuda battalion, which caused the sanctions to be on the agenda, was established 25 years ago. The unit, consisting of ultra-Orthodox Jewish soldiers, constitutes only a small part of Israel's military presence and army in the region. In Israel, where military service is mandatory for men and women, ultra-religious Jews are exempt from recruitment on religious grounds. Therefore, this issue is still controversial.
The Union was subjected to heavy criticism from the United States after it detained US citizen Palestinian Omar Assad in the West Bank on January 12, 2022, and then left him to die even though he was getting worse. Today, it plays an active role in the Gaza attacks. So who is Netzach Yehuda, which consists of Ultra-Orthodox Jews (Haredim)? Will these cracks between America and Israel lead to a rupture? Answers to these questions and many more meet with you in this episode of Editor Tells, narrated by GZT Foreign News Editor Hamide Coşkun.
