US Finds Evidence of Human Rights Violations by Israeli Army Units

The US State Department has concluded that five Israeli military units committed serious human rights violations in the West Bank, with at least one police unit involved. The findings were shared with Israel, and four of the units took remedial action to address the abuses. However, the State Department declined to identify the specific units or provide details on the measures taken by the Israeli government against them. It is worth noting that this development comes as Israel faces potential accountability from the international criminal court and the US State Department. The report's findings may have implications for Israel's eligibility for US military aid, although it appears that all five units remain eligible at present. The State Department's deputy spokesman, Vedant Patel, faced repeated questions from journalists seeking more information on the report, but provided limited details.
