"Political Rifts Deepen in Israel Over IDF's October 7 Investigation"

Tensions escalate in Israel as allies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticize the military for investigating intelligence failures leading up to the deadly Hamas attack on October 7, which resulted in 1,200 deaths. Netanyahu's hesitance to support the probe is perceived as an attempt to deflect responsibility onto military and intelligence officials. The situation is further complicated by US-Israel relations, already strained by a minister's call for Palestinian migration, and the upcoming visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

US Stance Firm on Israel Support Amid Human Rights Assessment Debate

The Biden administration has faced criticism for not formally assessing whether Israel is violating international humanitarian law in Gaza, despite deflecting accusations of genocide. The U.S. has not conducted real-time assessments of Israel's war conduct, leading to increased scrutiny as President Joe Biden shows no intention of altering the U.S. stance. The administration's defense of Israeli actions without a deep investigation into military operations has drawn negative reactions, including from Senator Elizabeth Warren, who suggests imposing restrictions on military aid to Israel. Meanwhile, the U.S. conducted a retaliatory strike in Baghdad, killing a militia leader blamed for attacks against U.S. personnel.

"Biden Admin Repeatedly Skirts Congress in Accelerated Arms Sales to Israel"

The Biden administration has bypassed Congress for a second time to expedite a $147.5 million emergency arms sale to Israel, aimed at replenishing Israel's munitions amidst its conflict with Hamas. This move, which includes equipment to enhance the functionality of previously purchased artillery shells, has been justified by the State Department as essential for Israel's defense and in line with U.S. interests. However, the sale has faced criticism due to the high civilian death toll in Gaza and concerns that it may contribute to further casualties. Despite some critical rhetoric from President Biden, the administration's actions continue to support Israel's military efforts.
