A U.S-bases organization, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), has requested the International Criminal Court to investigate President Joe Biden and key officials for complicity in Israel's alleged war crimes in Gaza. Their 172-page report details U.S. military and political support for Israel, in light of overwhelming evidence of human rights violations. The organization argues this involvement constitutes aiding and abetting these crimes, as it continued despite officials' awareness of misconduct, thus maintaining that this support violates both international and domestic laws.
"Not only did Biden, Blinken and Secretary Austin ignore and justify the overwhelming evidence of Israel's grotesque and deliberate crimes, they doubled down by providing Israel with unconditional military and political support to ensure it could carry out its atrocities," said Sarah Leah Whitson, DAWN's executive director.
These actions were all taken by American officials despite their knowledge that Israel was committing grave violations of human rights in Gaza and that supporting them militarily was a violation of international and domestic law, establishing intent, the group says in its filing.
In a sprawling 172-page report, Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) laid out extensive evidence of complicity in Israel's 'grave abuses' by Biden and his Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
This support was crucial in allowing Israel to carry out the genocide, DAWN argues, with the U.S. acting as Israel's largest arms provider.
