The fact that the US was unable to link specific US weapons to attacks by Israeli forces in Gaza could give it leeway in any future decision to limit the supply of arms to Israel.
A US government report writes that the use of US-supplied weapons in Israel would likely violate international humanitarian law. But wartime conditions did not allow American officials to specify specifically which attacks.
From research into a report at the State Department, known as the national security memo, Biden says there is "reasonable" evidence to prove that her ally may be violating international law.
The report also states that it is not yet specified whether the violation of the law is related to specific American weapons or Israeli attacks.
" Given Israel's significant support from the US, it should be seen whether articles that write in favor of Israel's defense have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 and cases that are inconsistent with international humanitarian obligations or best practices. assets imposed to mitigate civil damages ," the report said.
It also says that while Israel has the knowledge, experience and means to implement "best practices for mitigating civilian harm in its military operations," evidence from the ground, including the high number of casualties, raises the question of whether the IDF is using them effectively.
Turning to the issue of aid to Gaza, the US report indicates that there is currently no evidence that the Israeli government is stopping or restricting the transport or delivery of aid.
Most importantly, the report does not say that Israel violated the terms under which it is able to use US weapons to carry out its offensive in Gaza.
But the fact that the US was unable to link specific US weapons to attacks by Israeli forces in Gaza could give it leeway in any future decision to limit arms supplies to Israel.
Earlier, President Joe Biden warned that the US would freeze arms supplies if Israeli forces launch a full-scale offensive in Rafah. This marked his strongest language to date on the issue. / Adapted "Pamphlet" from "SKY News"
