the white house is reportedly expected to announce a new sanctions package. three u.s. sources with knowledge of the issue tell axios a battalion is accused of human rights violations in the west bank. the special unit is made up of ultra-orthodox soldiers all of whom are men. the state department reportedly started investigating them in 2022. according to republic ka, they gagged, handcuffed, and left an elderly palestinian man for dead and they raped a teenager. axios reports the sanctions will end once the idf remedies the behavior. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, however, is protesting the move saying, quote, at a time when our soldiers are fighting the monsters of terror, the
