Biden Administration's Verdict on Israel's Actions in Gaza Conflict Sparks Debate - Joe Biden administration is under scrutiny for its support of Israel's actions in the conflict with Gaza. This week, it will deliver a significant verdict on whether Israel's airstrikes and aid restrictions comply with international and U.S. laws aimed at protecting civilians during war. If found to have violated these laws, pressure will mount on President Biden to restrict military aid to Israel.

This assessment comes after Democrats in Congress insisted on reviewing whether Israel properly used U.S.-provided weapons and military aid. Additionally, the administration must determine if Israel has obstructed the delivery of U.S.-supported humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Although the State Department aims to complete the review by Wednesday, delays are possible. The decision coincides with ongoing ceasefire negotiations and the threat of an Israeli offensive in Rafah, Gaza, which the U.S. opposes.

The conflict has sparked debate within the Biden administration and Congress about the U.S.'s response to human rights violations by its allies. Some lawmakers argue that broader strategic interests often overshadow concerns about human rights abuses.

While Israel claims to adhere to U.S. and international law and investigates allegations of misconduct by its forces, critics accuse it of disproportionate actions in Gaza. The conflict has strained relations between the U.S. and Israel, with the Biden administration expressing concerns about civilian casualties and threatening to cut military aid.

The U.S. is also facing pressure from Congress to enforce the Leahy Laws, which mandate the suspension of aid to foreign security forces implicated in gross human rights abuses. Secretary of State Blinken confirmed credible evidence of such abuses by a specific Israeli unit, but instead of suspending aid, the U.S. seeks remedial action.

A panel of military experts and former officials highlights specific Israeli strikes on civilian targets and calls for a determination that Israel's actions violate the law. However, Israel argues that Hamas' presence in civilian areas complicates efforts to minimize civilian casualties.
