The US State Department revealed five Israeli units committed "individual incidents of gross violations of human rights" against Palestinians in the West Bank before the Hamas attack in October. While four units have taken remedial actions, consultations are ongoing for the fifth. This announcement follows the Biden administration's decision to postpone blacklisting the fifth unit, amidst tensions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over potential sanctions on IDF units. The move coincides with diplomatic efforts to prevent ICC arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Israeli officials, amid escalating global concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
