according to a special report by reuters on the 4th,at the beginning of the conflict in gaza last october, officials from the u.s. department of defense and state department warned three times through internal emails that israel's military operations would lead to a humanitarian disaster and may violate international law. the white house not only failed to take it seriously, but also accelerated the supply of weapons to israel.

reuters reported that it obtained email exchanges between senior u.s. government officials between october 11 and 14 last year. it was found that many us officials had issued warnings to their superiors, all of which centered on the rising death toll in gaza and the possible violation of international law by israeli military operations.

an email from an official to a senior state department officialit warned that the us government is indifferent to the tragic humanitarian situation of palestinian civilians, which has no effect on quelling the conflict and is even counterproductive.. not only that, "by remaining silent on israel's atrocities against palestinian civilians, the united states will also be accused of acting as an accomplice of israel." another u.s. official wrote in an email to a senior aide to the u.s. president that the civilian evacuation period set before israel launched a ground offensive in gaza was too short.would cause a humanitarian disaster and may violate international law. another us official warned the white house in an email that such a large-scale evacuation would inevitably cause a "humanitarian disaster" and called on the government to persuade israel to delay military operations.

however, the united states still emphasizes israel's so-called "right to self-defense" and plans to provide military support to israel. the report also revealed that the u.s. state department’s bureau of democracy, human rights, and labor had reviewed the possibility that the supplied weapons could be abused by israel and violated human rights, and recommended the suspension of 16 batches of supplied weapons. however, the suggestions were not adopted, and at israel's urging, the relevant weapons were still urgently approved for shipment to israel.
