The international laws that the US and Israeli governments are in violation of over the war in Gaza

The U.S. and Israeli governments have faced scrutiny regarding their actions during the conflict in Gaza. Here are some relevant point

1. U.S. Position on Israel’s Use of U.S.-Provided Weapons in Gaza:

   • The Biden administration stated that Israel’s use of U.S.-provided weapons likely violated international humanitarian law during the conflict in Gaza.
   • However, due to wartime conditions, they couldn’t definitively link specific U.S. weapons to individual attacks by Israeli forces¹.
   • This assessment was compelled by President Biden’s fellow Democrats in Congress.

2. Human Rights Groups’ Findings:

   • International human rights groups and an unofficial panel of experts pointed to more than a dozen Israeli airstrikes that violated the laws of war and humanitarian law.
   • These strikes targeted aid convoys, medical workers, hospitals, journalists, schools, and refugee centers, causing substantial civilian casualties¹.

3. Aid Workers’ Deaths and U.S. Stance:

   • After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the U.S. stated that it had not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months².

In summary, while there is evidence suggesting violations, the situation remains complex, and international law experts continue to assess the actions of both governments during the conflict.³ 🌍🕊️
