“The army should not be subject to sanctions,” Netanyahu blasts

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to fight potential sanctions from Washington against an Israeli army unit for possible abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank before the Hamas attack in October. “The Israeli army should not be subject to sanctions!” “, he became interested in the X network.

“If anyone thinks they can impose sanctions on an IDF unit, I will fight them with all my might,” he insisted in a statement quoted by The Guardian, after already criticizing on Saturday “the highest degree of absurdity and attack on morality.”
