Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

A lawsuit from Palestinians claims the U.S. State Department has circumvented the Leahy Law, which prohibits military aid linked to human rights violations, by exempting Israel. The plaintiffs seek accountability as they allege the U.S. is overlooking grave human rights abuses in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict. Legal experts and human rights advocates criticize the State's known practices that favor Israel's military, arguing that implementation of the Leahy Law would restrict aid based on credible abuse evidence.
