Israel may have violated international humanitarian law in the Gaza Strip by using weapons procured from Washington, according to a State Department report tabled in the US Congress.
The US government does not rule out this possibility, pointing out that in war zones it is difficult to assess individual incidents or draw solid conclusions.
The State Department notes that it has received reports from several credible sources – both UN agencies and non-governmental organizations – of possible human rights violations by the Israeli armed forces. “Several incidents have been reported that raise serious concerns,” the US State Department’s report underlines.
Since the US is Israel’s largest supplier of weapons systems, “it is reasonable to believe that defense equipment subject to NSM-20 (National Security Memorandum) was used by the Israeli security forces after October 7 in circumstances inconsistent with what the International Humanitarian Law or with established best practices for mitigating harm to civilians,” the State Department report said.
