Despite a delay and a threat from U.S. President Joe Biden to withhold weapons from Israel, Antony Blinken, Washington’s top diplomat, is expected to tell Congress in a report Friday that Israel has acted legally in Gaza.

Two U.S. officials who read the memo told Axios that “U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew and outgoing U.S. Gaza humanitarian envoy David Satterfield sent a memo to Blinken in recent weeks saying Israel isn't violating international law in its war in Gaza.”

A senior U.S. official said Blinken's report also adopted the conclusions of Lew and Satterfield and certifies that Israel isn't currently violating the national security memorandum when it comes to facilitating the delivery of U.S. supported humanitarian aid.

The outcome is a surprise to no one because the U.S. has defended Israel every step of its genocide.
