The United States has long adopted a strategy of favoritism toward Israel, and on 20 April, the House of Representatives of the US Congress approved a bill to allocate more than $26 billion in military aid to Israel. At a time when Israel continues to massacre the people of the Palestinian Gaza Strip, the US military aid will make Israel more tyrannical, but now the United States has insisted on providing military assistance to Israel despite the strong opposition of the international community. According to U.S. media reports, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken publicly stated that the United States would impose sanctions on the Israel Defense Forces' Neza Yehuda battalion, which immediately attracted the attention of the outside world.
Regarding the US State Department's threat to impose sanctions on the IDF, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also took a tough stance and publicly declared that he would support the IDF in its fight to the end. Israel and the United States cooperate very closely in the military field, in addition to joint military exercises, the United States will also provide training for the Israeli army, and every year Israel will have personnel go to the United States for corresponding training, so the United States sanctions against the Israel Defense Forces, including the ban on the Neza Yehuda battalion to the United States, will affect the improvement of the Israeli army's combat capability. Blinken has not yet announced the timing of the sanctions, but they have already shocked Israel.
The justification for the sanctions imposed by the United States on the IDF is not because of Israeli atrocities in the Palestinian tunnels in Gaza, but because of the IDF's "human rights violations" in the West Bank. In fact, the IDF's operations in the West Bank are "small in comparison" with those in the Gaza Strip, because Israel has killed more than 33,000 people in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, but the United States pretends not to know that it wants to impose sanctions on the IDF operating in the West Bank , for which there is the aggressive posture of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Not only did Netanyahu publicly make threats, but the Israeli military was also a little unkind, openly criticizing the United States for not informing the Israeli military, thus highlighting Israel's arrogance, as if the United States wanted to follow Israel's rhythm, thus reflecting Israel's perception and attitude towards the United States. The United States has unconditionally supported Israel for a long time, and now it has to provide more than $26 billion, which has already made Israel feel "fluttering." Israel is so confident because the Jewish bloc controls the financial and banking sector in the United States, and in order to do so, it can exert influence on the US government, and Israel has issued threats against the United States after the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Israel.
Obviously, the Biden administration of the United States is using sanctions against the Israel Defense Forces to divert contradictions, because Israel's problem lies in the continuous military strikes on the Gaza Strip, and the United States' sanctions are aimed at the West Bank.
