America: Probably Israel has violated international laws

, the American government announced in its strongest criticism against the Israeli regime that this regime probably violated international human rights laws in using American weapons in Gaza.

According to this report, while the government refused to make a definitive assessment, it stated that due to the confusion and chaos of the war in Gaza, it is not possible to state very specific examples in which these weapons have been used. It may have caused violations of international human rights laws.

This 46-page unclassified assessment was submitted to the US Congress by the US State Department. , and under a national security memorandum entitledNSM-20, which Joe Biden President The US president signed it in February.

Contradictions can be seen in this assessment: there are numerous credible reports of civilian casualties, and it is said that the Israeli regime has initially cooperated with Washington to increase humanitarian aid to besieged Gaza. has not taken any action. However, in each case, it is said that it is not possible to provide definitive assessments as to whether human rights violations have occurred.

In this report of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is emphasized that considering the high reliance of the Israeli regime on American-made defense equipment, it is logical that based on Memorandum NSM-20 The assessment of these defense tools used by the Israeli security forces since the attack of Hamas on October 7 against this regime, in contradiction with the requirements of international human rights laws or in contradiction with the best methods developed to moderate harm to civilians.

It is also emphasized in this report that Israel does not have complete information to determine whether these defense devices were specifically used in actions that violate international human rights laws in Gaza, the West Bank. It did not violate West Bank and East Jerusalem during the war.

For this reason, the American government announced that it has found valid guarantees from Israel, which show that this regime has used American-made weapons in accordance with international laws. .

Senator Van Hollen stated that the report obscured all the difficult questions and contained contradictions because it concluded that there were reasonable grounds for accepting violations of human rights laws, but at the same time said that it saw no inconsistency.

A few days ago, following the publication of a report that the Zionist regime violates international law in Gaza, Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen in a statement, the Biden administration’s assessment of compliance He questioned the conformity of Israel’s actions with international law in the Gaza war.

According to a brief internal report of the US State Department, some senior US officials told Secretary Anthony Blinken The State Department advised that they did not find credible and reliable assurances from Israel that this regime used American weapons in accordance with international human rights laws and may have violated international laws in Gaza.

In the joint evaluation of 4 departments under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is said that Israel’s guarantees are not reliable and valid. This assessment also mentions 8 examples of Israeli military actions that officials believe have raised serious questions about possible violations of international human rights laws.

In another part of this internal report, it is warned that Blinken has limited the ability of Israel to face possible threats outside its airspace by suspending the sending of American aid and requires It is for Washington to re-evaluate arms sales to other countries in the region at the present time and in the future.

Meanwhile, Van Hollen and some other Democratic lawmakers have pressured Joe Biden to impose conditions on military aid to the Zionist regime so that this regime will be pressured to reduce the killing of civilians in Gaza.

Yesterday, the Axios website reported that the subject of this report is the review of Israel’s adherence to international laws, as well as the regime’s action in preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, and Blinken’s decision to publish it has caused very controversial discussions within the US State Department. .

If the said report concludes that a party has violated international humanitarian laws or Humanitarian aid has been obstructed. This could lead to the suspension of Washington’s military aid.

American officials said in the report Blinken listed the events that took place in the Gaza war and Washington has expressed serious concerns about Israel’s violation of international law.

According to these officials, the situation in Gaza will be described in “very critical terms” and the State Department will announce that it is still investigating several incidents..

Meanwhile In an interview, US President Joe Biden warned against the Israeli occupation regime’s attack on Rafah and said that the US would send weapons in the event of such an attack. It stops attacking this regime.

Joe Biden told CNN: The bombs that America used to give to Israel and now it has stopped sending them; It is used to kill civilians.

He added: “If Israel enters populated areas in Rafah, Israel will no longer have our support and we will not send weapons and artillery shells; I have told Netanyahu and the war cabinet about this; But Israel has not yet crossed our red line; Entering the Rafah crossing is not considered crossing the red line“.

while Many independent international groups have provided numerous evidences of violations of international law and humanitarian laws by the Israeli army in the 217 days since the Gaza war..

A group of Analysts interpret the US State Department’s action in publishing this report as part of Washington’s efforts to shape public opinion in Israel’s favor. According to these analysts, the critical tone of the Biden government officials in the 7 months since the war is a tactic to facilitate Washington’s practical and field assistance to Israel at the same time as taking a critical stance.
