Article by Sarah Leah Whitson argues that President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin provided military, diplomatic, and public support to Israel, fully aware that such assistance would facilitate actions leading to mass civilian casualties and severe deprivation in Gaza. This support includes nearly $18 billion in weapons, intelligence sharing, and deployment of US military assets, which the article suggests were instrumental in enabling Israel’s operations. The author contends that this level of involvement meets the criteria for aiding and abetting war crimes under international law. This source is helpful for research on the Biden administration, US-Israel relations, US military aid to Israel, Israeli war crimes, international law, the International Criminal Court, US complicity, and the Gaza genocide.
