The US has decided not to proceed with sanctions against the Netzah Yehuda Battalion of the Israeli army, despite previous reports of potential sanctions due to human rights violations. This decision comes after Israeli officials reported significant political pressure from all parties involved. The battalion was accused of committing human rights violations, including crimes involving children, but the US has now chosen not to hold them accountable. This decision has sparked a range of reactions, with some expressing disappointment and concern over the message it sends about justice.
