In a long-awaited report, the State Department lays out numerous suspected international humanitarian violations by Israel in its war on Gaza, yet suggests no changes in policy or consequences.
The Biden administration concludes it is likely that Israel used U.S.-supplied weapons in āincidents that raise concernsā about the countryās legal compliance, while crediting Israel for investigating them.
The report also concludes Israel is not currently blocking humanitarian aid, despite ādeep concernsā about āaction and inactionā by the government resulting in aid delivery to Gaza that āremains insufficient.ā
The US is an active, willing and enthusiastic partner in these war crimes and in all likelihood many others that havenāt been reported yet. Letās not pretend that the state department has any authority to investigate Israelās actions.
