The US is set to impose sanctions on an Israeli military unit accused of human rights violations against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank - a step the State Department has never taken before.

It would band the transfer of US military weaponry or any other assistance to an all-male IDF infantry unit - made up of ultra Orthodox recruits.  Israeli leaders across the political spectrum have condemned Washington's plan, promising to take action to prevent it. 

Guest: Josh Paul, former director in the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, responsible for arms transfers and security assistance to foreign governments
