US finds Israel’s use of weapons in Gaza ‘inconsistent’ with human rights law, but will not cut flow of arms

State department also says not enough concrete evidence to link specific US-supplied weapons to violations

The US says it is reasonable to assess" that the weapons it has provided to Israel have been used in ways that are inconsistent" with international human rights law, but that there is not enough concrete evidence to link specific US-supplied weapons to violations or warrant cutting the supply of arms.

In a highly anticipated report to Congress, the state department said that the assurances given by Israel and a handful of other countries under scrutiny that they had been using US-supplied weapons in accordance with international humanitarian law (IHL) were credible and reliable".
