Palestinian families have sued the U.S. State Department over its support for Israel's military amid the ongoing war in Gaza. The lawsuit alleges that the State Department has circumvented human rights laws to continue funding and supporting Israeli military units accused of atrocities. The Leahy Laws prohibit providing military assistance to individuals or security force units that commit gross violations of human rights. The lawsuit claims that the State Department's failure to apply these laws is shocking in the face of the escalating human rights violations in Gaza. Israel's war in Gaza has resulted in thousands of deaths and a humanitarian crisis.
