As the death toll in Gaza climbed to 25,000, Israel's military requested 3,000 more bombs from the U.S., asserting there would be no misuse despite ongoing civilian casualties.
U.S. diplomats urged the State Department to approve the sale of bombs to Israel, failing to mention the Biden administration’s concerns over rising civilian deaths in Gaza.
Officials highlighted that despite assurances of Israel's precision in avoiding civilian casualties, the military's actions proved otherwise as many civilians continued to die.
The Israeli airforce had a "decades-long proven track record" of avoiding civilian deaths when using American-made bombs, which was contradicted by actual events on the ground.
