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 “incidents that raise concerns” about the country’s legal compliance, while crediting Israel for investigating them.

The report also concludes Israel is not currently blocking humanitarian aid, despite “deep concerns” about “action and inaction” by the government resulting in aid delivery to Gaza that “remains insufficient.”

    They’re geopolitically an important Ally in the region. Sure the United States has bases Etc everywhere. But in the region only other group even remotely as friendly is the house of saud. Whose country nearly all of the 9/11 attackers were from. And who helped train and fund them. Not nearly as reliable and Ally as Israel has historically been.
