Human Rights Watch says US military personnel could face criminal prosecution for assisting Israel’s war in Gaza
Human rights groups and activists who protest against continued US support for Israel have focused primarily on the flow of US weapons, warning that continuing to send weapons to a state which has been documented using them in probable war crimes makes the US complicit.
However, this week, Human Rights Watch (HRW) highlighted another facet of US military support for Israel: military cooperation and intelligence sharing.
Individual US military personnel who assist Israeli forces in committing war crimes could face criminal prosecution for their actions, the rights group said.
The US has made no secret of its operational support for Israel throughout its 22-month war in Gaza. The US has provided Israel with intelligence at various points during its military operations, and also embedded US military forces within Israeli operational planning.
