There has been no direct indication that the Israeli government has prohibited or restricted the transportation or supply of US humanitarian aid under the US Foreign Assistance Act.
Israel may have violated international law in its war against Hamas, but “the nature of the conflict in Gaza makes it difficult to assess or draw firm conclusions.” Bloomberg wrote this on Friday, May 10, citing the US State Department.
It is indicated that US weapons may have been used by Israeli security forces since October 7 in a context inconsistent with international humanitarian norms or best practices to minimize impact on civilians.
However, it is emphasized that the complexity of the situation in Gaza makes it difficult to analyze and obtain conclusive data on specific incidents.
“Israel faces an extraordinary military challenge as Hamas militants use Palestinians as human shields,” the State Department said.
The report highlights that the situation with access to humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip is still a challenge, but it is trending towards improvement
However, the report states that “at this time, we do not believe that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transportation or delivery of US humanitarian assistance” under the US Foreign Assistance Act.
The report was sent to the US Congress, where some Democratic lawmakers pressured President Joe Biden’s administration to freeze military aid to Israel.
As you know, Joe Biden said that in the event of a full-scale attack by the IDF on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, the United States would not provide the Israelis with weapons that could be used in such an operation.
