ย Leaked US State Department Docs Unveil First Formal Acknowledgment Of Israeli Units Committing Gross Rights Abuses
The US has failed to hold Israel accountable in the past for clear human rights abuses, including against US citizens
A classified US State Department report found that Israeli soldiers committed โmany hundredsโ of potential violations of US human rights law in the Gaza Strip that would require โmultiple yearsโ to review, the Washington Post reported on 31 October.
Details of the report prepared by the State Departmentโs Office of Inspector General were provided to The Post by two US officials.
The report has, for the first time, โacknowledged the scale of Israeli actions in Gaza that fall under the purview of Leahy Laws, the landmark legislation that bars US security assistance to foreign military units credibly accused of gross human rights abuses,โ the newspaper wrote.
However, the Office of Inspector General report โraised doubts about the prospects for accountability for Israelโs actions given the large backlog of incidents and the nature of the review process, which is deferential to the Israel Defense Forces,โ The Post added.
โWhat worries me is that accountability will be forgotten now that the noise of the conflict is dying down,โ said Charles Blaha, a former State Department official responsible for overseeing the application of the Leahy Laws.
