May 10, 2024 Israel-Hamas war

What we covered here

The Biden administration said Friday it is “reasonable to assess” that US weapons have been used by Israeli forces in Gaza in ways that are inconsistent with international humanitarian law – but the highly anticipated report stopped short of officially saying Israel violated the law.

Also on Friday, the White House said a CNN report on alleged systematic abuse at an Israeli prison was “deeply concerning” and that the US is reaching out to Israeli officials for answers. CNN spoke to three Israeli whistleblowers who revealed how prisoners are blindfolded, handcuffed and forced to wear diapers.

Elsewhere, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution calling on the Security Council to reconsider Palestinian membership in the UN, a significant but ultimately symbolic move that the US is expected to veto.

Hamas on Friday said Israel’s rejection of a ceasefire plan submitted by mediators at negotiations in Cairo sent hostage release talks back to “square one.”

我们在这里讨论了什么

拜登政府周五表示，“有理由评估”以色列军队在加沙使用美国武器的方式不符合国际人道主义法——但这份备受期待的报告并未正式宣布以色列违反了该法律。

周五，白宫表示，CNN关于以色列监狱涉嫌系统性虐待囚犯的报道“令人深感担忧”，美国正在与以色列官员联系，寻求答案。CNN采访了三名以色列举报人，他们揭露了囚犯被蒙住双眼、戴上手铐并被迫穿尿布的种种行径。

此外，联合国大会通过了一项决议，呼吁安全理事会重新考虑巴勒斯坦加入联合国的问题。这是一项意义重大但最终只是象征性的举措，预计美国将予以否决。

哈马斯周五表示，以色列拒绝了调解人在开罗谈判中提出的停火计划，导致人质释放谈判回到了“原点”。
