WASHINGTON, Sunday, April 28, 2024 (WAFA) – In an internal memo reviewed by Reuters, some senior US officials have cast doubt on Israel's assurances regarding the use of US-supplied weapons in compliance with international humanitarian law.

Under a National Security Memorandum issued by President Joe Biden in February, Secretary of State Antony Blinken is mandated to report to Congress by May 8 on the credibility of Israel's assurances regarding the lawful use of US weapons.
