Article by Josh Ruebner, Salih Booker, and Zaha Hassan argues that US military aid to Israel, the largest recipient of such assistance, should be aligned with US laws and human rights standards. It highlights that, despite legal provisions like the Foreign Assistance Act and the Leahy Laws designed to prevent aid to countries committing human rights violations, Israel continues to receive substantial military funding without stringent oversight. The authors call for enhanced monitoring and accountability to ensure that US assistance does not contribute to human rights abuses in the occupied Palestinian territories. This source is valuable for research on US-Israel relations, Israeli war crimes, US military aid to Israel, the Leahy Laws, US foreign military financing (FMF), and human rights standards.
