Israel likely to have breached international law with our weapons, says US report

Israel is likely to have breached international humanitarian law with American weapons during its military campaign in Gaza, a US government report has concluded.

However, the long-awaited US State Department report added that Israel’s forces did not act in a way that would prevent Washington sending further military assistance to its ally.

While it was “reasonable to assess” that Israel had used US-supplied weapons in ways that could be deemed illegal, it also said that officials in Washington could not reach “conclusive findings” that they were used in specific breaches.
