Biden administration gauges Israeli compliance with laws of war

A group of 17 Democratic senators is calling on the Biden administration to reject Israel’s claims that it is not violating international law by restricting humanitarian aid amid a growing debate in Washington over whether the United States should suspend arms transfers to the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The State Department last week received Israel’s written assurances that its use of U.S.-supplied weapons in the Gaza war has not violated international or U.S. laws in its conduct of the war and protection of civilians, including the provision of sufficient aid.
