NEW YORK – Human Rights Watch said that the
United States risks "complicity in war crimes" by continuing to
supply Israel with weapons and providing "diplomatic cover" while it
commits "atrocities" in Gaza, according to Amad Media quoting the
British newspaper The Guardian.

This came in a statement issued by the
organization's director at the United Nations, Louis Charbonneau, after the
United States obstructed a draft resolution submitted by the UAE to the
Security Council, calling for an "immediate ceasefire in Gaza for
humanitarian reasons."
Charbonneau said, "The right of veto used by the United States prevented the Council from taking some of the appeals
advocated by Washington itself, including compliance with international
humanitarian law, protection of civilians, and the release of all civilians
held as hostages."
He confirmed that by "continuing to supply Israel with weapons and providing diplomatic support while it commits
atrocities, including collective punishment of Palestinian civilians in Gaza,
the United States is risking complicity in war crimes."
