In a groundbreaking legal challenge, five Palestinians from Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and the United States are suing the US government.
In a groundbreaking legal challenge, five Palestinians from Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and the United States are suing the US government, seeking to halt American military assistance to Israel due to its involvement in alleged serious human rights abuses.
The plaintiffs argue that the State Department has ignored its obligations under this law, especially amid the ongoing escalation of violence since the Gaza War erupted on October 7, 2023. The Leahy Law, passed in 1997, prohibits US military aid to foreign security forces implicated in serious human rights violations. The law aims to ensure that US taxpayer dollars are not used to fund abuses abroad.
For months, human rights advocates have urged President Joe Biden’s administration to impose restrictions on military assistance to Israel amid ongoing reports of human rights violations, particularly in Gaza.Israeli forces have been accused of using US-made weapons in several attacks in Gaza, some of which targeted civilian areas and led to significant casualties. Reports have documented indiscriminate bombings, including strikes that killed dozens of Palestinian civilians.
