The US government says Israel may have breached humanitarian law in Gaza using American weapons.
In a delayed report, the state department says it is "reasonable to assess" that US-supplied arms have been used in ways "inconsistent" with Israel's obligations.
But it says Israel has had to confront an "extraordinary military challenge" fighting Hamas in Gaza.
The report, ordered by the White House, was submitted to Congress on Friday.
While the report was a clear rebuke of some Israeli operations in Gaza, it stopped short of definitively saying that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) campaign had breached international law.
And it said assurances it had received from Israel about adhering to the legal use of US weapons were "credible and reliable", and so weapons shipments could continue.
The document also noted that the US government does not have "complete information" in its assessment and that, because Hamas "uses civilian infrastructure for military purposes and civilians as human shields", it was often "difficult to determine facts on the ground in an active war zone" of what are legitimate targets.

I don't have a problem with Israel per se. They have their own country and a right to defend themselves.
I just don't want them buying off our politicians and crap, OK?
True. But maybe there's even more going on here.
I think the Obama/Jarrett gang that obviously controls Biden has always hated Israel, especially Netanyahu.
The Palestinian protests in the US have given them an opportunity to use the Michigan and Minnesota electoral college votes as a political cover to put the screws to Israel hard while making it look to the Democratic base that Biden is just harmlessly going through the motions for public consumption to mollify the Muslim vote. The base assumes Israel will be able to proceed without actual penalty.
I would expect the sanctions on Israel will escalate quickly from here while this political cover story is still viable.
Marx is responsible for marxism, he is the most evil man who ever lived so far.
Bravo Sierra, BBC!
[[ then WHY does the BBC Headline says that it DID say that?]]
Because it’s the ‘seriousness of the accusations’ that count, not actual facts-
Leave no Hamas fighter standing. Terrorists. Barbarians. They starve their own people.
No actual specific charges except the following: “The state department found that Israel did not fully co-operate with US efforts to “maximise” humanitarian aid into Gaza in the initial months of the conflict.”
“ AIPAC temp worker surrounded by empty bags of Doritos and Mountain Dew bottles to hit F5 and send out a press release denouncing this 3...2...1”
Of course they will denounce this.
Play soccer with sliced off breasts. Roast babies. Rape women until they’re dead, and rape them again.
Go ahead. Agree with war crimes.
yeah right. When you’re about to get killed you’re going to concern yourself with international law on how you’re going to defend yourself. That’s not even human.
Figures
Obama-Biden at work
Just wait until they get their 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’
Which is an outright lie. Israel has been sending in more aid than the UN and UNWRA working with/for Hamas has been stealing it and squirreling it away from the population. This is well known and covered up by the UN liars and Israel haters.
Yes,the ethnic Russians who live in Ukraine and whom the Ukrainian nazis are trying to exterminate. How many have been slaughtered- we may never hear about them. They are not pro-Putin btw. They are Ukrainians who speak Russian many of whose ancestors fought the Soviets (yes- joined the German forces to fight off Stalin, having already experienced the Holodomor and having family disappeared by Stalin, starved to death).
I also think there ys prophecy being fulfilled. The End cannot come until every nation turns against Israel. Since Satan rules the Biden Administration, that will happen soon I believe.
It could indeed happen pretty soon, yes.
Personally, I do not believe The End Times are quite yet here.
But I recognize your reasons for thinking maybe they are. Certainly there’s a tremendous amount of Satanic evil in the world today, especially from the IslamoNazis, UnitedNazis, and now the Biden regime.....and how it is focused against the Jews (and Christians).
I saw a comment awhile ago on FR
..Something to the affect that the margin of cheat must be a lot closer than they realized.
Easy.When it’s not the Democrats doing it.
