The US is contemplating blacklisting the Israeli battalion Netzah Yehuda over alleged human rights abuses in the West Bank.

A blacklist designation could lead to the suspension of aid and training programs for the battalion.

The potential move has drawn criticism from Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu and opposition leader Gantz, who deem it unfair and a moral overstep.

The issue underscores the tension between military assistance and human rights considerations in US-Israel relations.
