Deep dives
The Unique Netsa Yahuda Battalion and Potential US Sanctions
The Netsa Yahuda battalion, founded in 1999, consists of ultra-Orthodox Jewish volunteers with strict adherence to religious laws. They serve in isolation, mainly in the West Bank, with a history of human rights abuses. The battalion's actions have led to reports of moral failings even within the Israeli Defense Forces. The potential US sanctions against them would be unprecedented and have raised controversy over their conduct and the Israeli Prime Minister's staunch support.
