American Senator Patrick Leahy is pushing for a bill that will halt US assistance to three elite Israeli army units because of alleged human rights violations. Leahy, a Democrat and a senior member of the US Senate wants the American government to stop sending assistance to the Israel Navy's elite Shayetet 13 (Navy Seals) , the Ground Forces special undercover Duvdevan unit and the Air Force's commando Shaldag unit. Head of the Senate Appropriations Committee's sub-committee on foreign operations, Leahy was one of the main initiators of a 1997 bill barring the US from providing military assistance or funding to foreign military units suspected of human rights violations or war crimes.
