Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed alarm that the United States was considering imposing sanctions on an Israel Defense Forces unit, describing it as the “height of absurdity” at a time when his troops were fighting against Hamas in Gaza. He was responding to a report by Axios that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to announce sanctions against Netzah Yehuda, an ultra-Orthodox military unit accused of human rights violations in the occupied West Bank. Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz told Blinken in a call that the move would “harm Israel’s international legitimacy.”

Israel’s war in Gaza raised its military spending by 24 percent over the previous year to $27.5 billion in 2023, according to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The country’s monthly military expenditure went up from an average of $1.8 billion before October to $4.7 billion in December.
Doctors at Kuwaiti Hospital saved the baby of a pregnant woman who was killed alongside her husband and other child in airstrikes on Rafah, in southern Gaza. The baby was in stable condition and transferred to the Emirati Hospital after being given first aid, Suhaib al-Hams, director of Kuwaiti Hospital said.
At least 34,097 people have been killed and 76,980 injured in Gaza since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants but says the majority of the dead are women and children.
Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, including more than 300 soldiers, and says 260 soldiers have been killed since its military operation in Gaza began.
