US says Israel's use of weapons in Gaza may have violated international law, evidence incomplete

India TV News  

Washington: In another strong criticism that may further strain ties between the US and Israel, the Biden administration on Friday said Israel's use of US-supplied weapons may have violated international law during its military operation in Gaza. "Given Israel's significant reliance on U.S.-made defence articles, it is reasonable to assess that defence articles covered under NSM-20 have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 in instances inconsistent with its IHL obligations or with established best practices for mitigating civilian harm," the State Department said in the report. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen said the administration had "ducked all the hard questions" and avoided looking closely at whether Israel's conduct should mean military aid is cut off. Those included Israeli strikes on civilian infrastructure, strikes in densely populated areas and others that call into question whether “expected civilian harm may have been excessive relative to the reported military objective.” At least four bureaus inside the US Department of State have raised serious concerns over Israel's conduct in Gaza, according to Reuters.
