Gaza’s Government Media Office has condemned continued US military support for Israel during the ongoing genocide war on Gaza which enters its 10th month, according to the Al Quds News Network.
“The US administration, under President Joe Biden, has caused a humanitarian catastrophe for Palestinians through its involvement in genocide and its provision of internationally banned weapons to the occupation,” it said in a statement on Monday.
It also called on “the world to condemn the American brutal behavior towards the Palestinian people”, urging “the international community to take a principled and public stance against the US and its serious transgressions in arming the Israeli occupation”.
A US report into Israeli violations of international law during the war found it was “reasonable to assess” that US weapons had been involved in these breaches given Israel’s reliance.
A US report in May said it is “reasonable to assess” that the weapons it has provided to Israel have been used in ways that are “inconsistent” with international human rights law.
The state department report found that: “Given Israel’s significant reliance on US-made defence articles, it is reasonable to assess that defence articles covered under NSM-20 have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 in instances inconsistent with its IHL obligations or with established best practices for mitigating civilian harm,” as reported in the Al Quds News Network.
