According to what the agency reports Reuters, who was able to view a memo from the US State Department, key officials informed the Secretary of State Antony Blinken not to be considered “credible or reliable” Israel’s assurances about the use of US-supplied weapons in accordance with international humanitarian law. Others instead tend to give credence to the positions taken by Tel Aviv. “Some members of the department were in favor of accepting Israel’s assurances, others were against, still others did not take a position,” a US official said.
Four offices in particular turned out to be skeptical: Democracy, Human Rights and Labour; Population, refugees and migration; Global criminal justice and international organization affairs. They raised “serious concern for Israel’s “failure to respect” international humanitarian law, citing eight examples of Israeli military actions that officials say raise “serious questions” about potential violations. These included repeated blows against each other protected sites and civil infrastructures; “unreasonably high levels of harm to civilians in pursuit of military gain”; the insufficiency of investigations into the violations committed and to establish responsibility, the serious damage caused to civilians and the killing of “humanitarian workers and journalists in a unprecedented pace“. They are then listed 11 cases where the Israeli military have “arbitrarily restricted humanitarian aid,” including denying transit of entire aid trucks due to the presence of a single item deemed “dual-use,” as well as repeated attacks on humanitarian sites that should not be targeted.
