A report ordered by the White House reveals that US weapons are being used by the Israeli Defense Forces, primarily against Palestinians, according to an article in CounterPunch. The report, known as National Security Memorandum 20, requires the Secretary of State to obtain assurances from countries using US defense articles in armed conflicts. While the report acknowledges concerns about violations of international law, it does not make specific adverse findings. Despite some lawmakers expressing concerns, the general sentiment in Congress is in favor of continuing to supply weapons to Israel. [Extracted from the article] |
