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.
The development comes after the US State Department was expected to release the report on Wednesday.
If the State Department were to find that Israel violated international humanitarian law, the US would have to stop supplying and re-supplying munitions to their erstwhile ally. [ Under the Leahy Law, the US government cannot aid foreign security forces found committing “gross violations of human rights.” ]
