The State Department is reviewing additional information from Israel regarding military units accused of human rights abuses, as part of the Leahy Law compliance process.
- The U.S. State Department has identified five Israeli military units involved in human rights violations.
- Four of these units have reportedly remediated the violations, while the fifth unit's status is under review following new information from Israel.
- The ongoing discussions with Israel are part of the Leahy Law compliance, which prohibits U.S. military aid to foreign units that violate human rights.
