  2. #US / Lawsuit accuses US of ignoring human rights law to fund Israeli military

    The lawsuit marks the first time victims are directly challenging the U.S. government's failure to sanction Israeli security forces under the Leahy Law.

    […] A Guardian investigation published in January found that top US officials had quietly reviewed more than a dozen incidents of alleged gross violations of human rights by Israeli security forces since 2020, but implemented special bureaucratic measures that have ultimately preserved access to US weapons for the allegedly responsible units. The investigation found that special mechanisms have been used over the last few years to shield Israel even as other allies’ military units who receive US support – including, sources say, Ukraine – have privately been sanctioned and faced consequences for committing human rights violations.
