The White House has delayed the release of a State Department report on whether Israel has violated US and international humanitarian law during its genocidal war on Gaza, according to government officials who spoke with POLITICO.
“In an email, the Biden administration notified the Hill that it will miss the date – without providing a clear reason why,” the DC-based publication reported on 7 May.
Earlier on Tuesday, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters that the report was not yet finished, adding: “We are trying very hard to meet that deadline … It’s possible it slips just a little bit, but we are trying to get it done by tomorrow.”
Speaking anonymously, a senior White House official told POLITICO that the report will “be delayed by less than a week.”
The unexpected delay comes as Israel indiscriminately bombs Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah with internationally-banned munitions. More than 1.4 million Palestinians remain in the border city after being violently displaced from their homes across the strip.
The State Department began drafting the report several months ago and was expected to deliver it on Wednesday. If the report agrees with the overwhelming amount of evidence showing the Israeli army has committed countless war crimes, US military aid for Tel Aviv could be at risk of drying up.
Has the US stalled the release of the report to buy time for Israel?
