US Israel Disagreements
According to reports, the U.S. is planning to blacklist the elite IDF unit for alleged human rights violations committed against Palestinians in the West Bank. Netanyahu denounced the reported sanctions, stating that the “IDF must not be sanctioned” as its soldiers are “fighting terrorist monsters. Analyst believe Biden Administration is under pressure from Pro-palestinian domestic audience and attempting to do fine balancing before elections by distancing itself from right wing elements of Israel regime. Israel Condemns Reported U.S. Sanctions on IDF Battalion Accused of Human Rights Violations Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior government officials have strongly condemned a reported move by the Biden administration to impose sanctions on the Netzah Yehuda battalion of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). “The intention to impose sanctions on an IDF unit is the height of absurdity and a moral nadir,” Netanyahu said in a statement on Saturday night. He vowed that the Israeli government “will act with all means against these moves.” Other Israeli ministers, including Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, also strongly condemned the reported U.S. sanctions. Ben Gvir called the move a “red line” and urged the Israeli Defense Minister not to submit to the “U.S. diktat.” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich went further, claiming that the sanctions are part of a “planned move to force the State of Israel to agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state and to forsake Israel’s security.” The harsh reactions from the Israeli government underscore the sensitivity surrounding the treatment of the IDF, which is widely revered in the country. The reported sanctions on the Netzah Yehuda battalion, which is considered elite by the IDF, have been described as an attack on the integrity and capabilities of the Israeli military. As the details of the U.S. sanctions plan continue to emerge, the diplomatic tensions between Israel and the Biden administration are likely to intensify, with both sides doubling down on their respective positions on the issue of human rights and the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians.https://globalfinserve.com/biden-goes-after-israel-to-please-domestic-audience-before-elections/ Aniljaswal1881 (talk) 07:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Dubious claim
"Israel is the second-largest foreign supplier of arms to the People's Republic of China". there is no source and It seems odd. 2A02:14F:1F4:700F:2C6A:621C:AA62:82B0 (talk) 12:31, 15 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Much of the foreign relations section is more generally irrelevant – being off-topic from the actual subject here. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:47, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * In fact, most of this content is so off-topic that it perhaps better merits being split off I'm it's entirety into a page about military relations. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:52, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
