Washington - Saba:
The American newspaper "Washington Post" revealed that the administration of President Joe Biden received more than 500 reports of "Israel" using US weapons and ammunition in the ongoing war of extermination against civilians in the Gaza Strip for a year, but the US administration did not take any steps to investigate the matter.
The newspaper confirmed, on Wednesday, that some of these reports received by the US State Department may involve violations of US and international humanitarian laws.
The Washington Post indicated that the reports, which include documents from US government agencies, international organizations, human rights defenders and eyewitnesses, include pictures of fragments of US-made bombs found at the bombing sites that killed dozens of Palestinian children.
Although the State Department relies on “civilian harm incident response guidelines” that require investigations within two months of receiving reports, none of the reports have reached the “action” stage, according to current and former U.S. officials. About two-thirds of the reports submitted remain unaddressed, the newspaper said, as the State Department awaits a response from the Israeli government to ascertain the circumstances of the cases.
