President Joe Biden’s administration has indefinitely delayed a report investigating potential Israeli war crimes in Gaza, according to a Politico report that cites four sources with insider knowledge.

Or a matter demonstrating a weird continuity of ‘National Socialist mindset and policy’ (notwithstanding the contemporary International Law and today’s U N Charter)?
