Weapons transfers to the units will not be impacted by the State Department's findings, spokesperson says

“After a careful process, we found five Israeli units responsible for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights. All of these were incidents much before October 7th and none took place in Gaza,” State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said Monday.

Patel said the findings would not impact arms transfers.

ABC News reported on Friday that the Biden administration had found at least three military units guilty of human rights violations but decided not to withhold military aid to the units because it believed Israel was addressing the findings.

      It’s pretty funny Biden is now employing the israeli Hasbara tactic of spamming misinformation.

      Every week we see a new post about how Biden is going to sanction israel but he either doesn’t follow up on it, or reverses the sanctions directly after placing them.
