The Biden administration suggests that Israel's use of American weapons in Gaza may violate international humanitarian law, though it hasn't definitively stated so. A State Department report acknowledges ongoing investigations into possible violations but lacks complete information to verify the use of US weapons. The report highlights challenges in assessing individual incidents in Gaza due to Hamas's tactics and the absence of US personnel. While not concluding Israel impeded humanitarian aid to Gaza, the report criticizes repercussions of Israeli military actions. This evaluation comes amidst strained US-Israeli relations, with Biden warning of limiting weapon transfers if Israel initiates a significant offensive.
