LIVE: US Plans Sanctions on Israel's Army, Netanyahu Vows To Protect IDF | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The United States is reportedly planning to impose sanctions on the Israeli Defense Forces' "Netzah Yehuda" battalion. This IDF unit has been accused of breaching human rights on a large scale in the West Bank. However, this move by Washington comes as the US Congress is on the brink of passing a military aid package worth $26 billion for Israel amid its battle against Hamas in Gaza. Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to fight any sanctions against Israel's army and to protect his soldiers on the "political battlefield". If Joe Biden is trying to draw red lines to restrict Israel's army, why is he also handing billions in military aid to the same army? On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you why the US is on the brink of sanctioning the Israeli Defense Forces, how it could affect the war in Gaza, and what it means for West Asia.
