Request for Information on Israel's Human Rights Practices and US Aid

The US Senate demands a detailed report from the State Department on how Israel uses US military aid and whether it complies with international human rights laws during operations in Gaza. The goal is to assess if taxpayer-funded assistance should continue and to increase transparency regarding the use of American weapons. Citizens gain insight into how their tax dollars are utilized in foreign policy.
Key points
Requirement to verify if US weapons are used in compliance with international law and do not contribute to human rights violations, including the denial of basic humanitarian needs.
Assessment of whether future military aid to Israel, funded by US taxpayers, should be halted or conditioned due to potential violations.
Demand for a list and summary of all weapons and munitions supplied to Israel by the US since October 7, 2023, increasing public spending transparency.
