US says five Israeli army units have committed human rights violations. And these events took place outside of Gaza before the ongoing war.
This is the first such statement by the US government against any unit of the Israeli army. Vedanta Patel, deputy spokesman for the country's foreign ministry, said five units of the security forces had committed gross violations of human rights.
However, although it is not possible to say whether any accountability has been confirmed in this case of human rights violations, the US State Department has denied the claim that the US has backed down due to political pressure (from taking a tough position) and continued military support to these units of the Israeli army.
Asked whether there was ambivalence in the US's approach to Israel, which is responsible for human rights violations but does not take strict action against units accused of human rights abuses, Patel said there is no such thing as 'special privileges' or 'ambivalence' about Israel's policies and that these standards are 'equally applied to all countries'. ' is applied.
