"Some components in the department favored accepting Israel's assurances, some favored rejecting them and some took no position," a U.S. official said. The assessment from the four bureaus also cited 11 instances of Israeli military actions the officials said"arbitrarily restrict humanitarian aid," including rejecting entire trucks of aid due to a single"dual-use" item,"artificial" limitations on inspections as well as repeated attacks on humanitarian sites that should not be hit.
Blinken has seen all of the bureau assessments about Israel's pledges, the second U.S. official said. Israel's military conduct has come under increasing scrutiny as its forces have killed 34,000 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the enclave's health authorities, most of them women and children.
