US says Israel's use of weapons may have violated international law
The news here is that the US “may have” admitted it finally.
That Israel could have perhaps possibly maybe committed a war crime or two.
Probably.
That's how foreign policy works. When Biden has that "maybe" in hand it gives him more leverage over Netanyaho. As long as he avoids the most populated areas, it might not change to "definitely". If it goes that way, US law says that weapon shipments end.
This is something that should have been done ages ago, but it is the right move. Cut off all support and Israel buddies up with China, India, or possibly even Russia. (The latter is becoming unlikely as Russia begins to unravel). Cut off some token support and use the rest for leverage and it works a lot better.
Biden did try this earlier with delays in small arms shipments, but that was way too subtle.
If people haven’t figured out by now that the US doesn’t give a rats ass about the Palestinians, I don’t know what to tell you.

Neither China nor Russia is going to give Israel the time of day. I can think of no reason why India would, either.

So the CIA has needed "only" 6 months to get the info.
That is political 'info'.
But the administration stopped short of a definitive assessment, saying that due to the chaos of the war in Gaza it could not verify specific instances where use of those weapons might have been involved in alleged breaches.
Just throw a dart at a map
This is like Hitler telling someone to tone down the racism.
this shit aint gonna save your skin, biden! nothing but the total dismantling of all settler colonial entities will suffice for world peace. power to the palestinian resistance and the american college protesters.
"May" so they need another six months of examination to see if things have cooled down and conclude that they didn't.
The usual snake-like double talk from the mafia states of America.
Breaking News: all this white phosphorus may in fact be breaking international law
"Israel has not shared complete information to verify whether U.S. defense articles covered under NSM-20 were specifically used in actions that have been alleged as violations of IHL or IHRL in Gaza, or in the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the period of the report," it said.
Because of that, the administration said it still finds credible Israel's assurances that it is using U.S. weapons in accordance with international law.
The perpetrator didn't tell us what happened so we find their written assurance of innocence still valid.
