Sec. Blinken: There’s Been Acts that Have Been Inconsistent with Israel’s Obligations Under the International Humanitarian Law

‘There’s a gap between the stated intent and some of the results’

EXCERPT:

BLINKEN: “There's a gap between the stated intent and some of the results we've seen. But, because it's so complicated, in the midst of a war, and particularly in the midst of a war where you have an enemy that hides in civilian infrastructure, hides behind civilians, to make final determinations on these individual incidents, we're looking at the totality of what's happened. We think it's reasonable to assess, based on what's happened, that there have been acts that have been inconsistent with Israel's obligations under international humanitarian law. But we haven't drawn definitive conclusions. We need to pursue these investigations, just as Israel is doing itself.”
