Israel’s fierce attack in Gaza continues. The Israeli army is carrying out air strikes in some area of Gaza every day. During this, a large number of people are being killed. Due to Israel’s continuous actions, Palestinians are facing many problems. Palestinians have filed a case against America regarding this. Along with this, many serious allegations have been made including violation of a law.
The US is continuously providing aid to Israel during the war. Raising their voice against this, 5 Palestinians have filed a case accusing it of being involved in human rights violations. In this case announced on Tuesday, the US has been accused of failing to implement the central law, which prohibits giving money to foreign armies involved in grave violations like extrajudicial killings and torture.
What is written in the case?
The lawsuit states, “The deliberate failure of the US to implement the Leahy Act is shocking in view of the escalation of Israeli human rights violations since the start of the Gaza war on October 7, 2023.” The lawsuit states that more than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli bombing and ground operations in Gaza since the beginning of October 2023. Also, the United Nations and major rights groups around the world have accused the Israeli army of committing war crimes, including genocide.
The plaintiff teacher expressed her grief
The plaintiff in the case is a Gaza teacher known as Amal Gaza. She has been forcibly displaced seven times since the war began, and 20 members of her family have been killed in Israeli attacks, the report said. “My suffering and the unimaginable damage to my family would be greatly reduced if the US stopped providing military support to Israeli units that commit gross human rights violations,” she said in a statement accompanying the lawsuit.
