Original Note:
Leahy law (refers to two statutory provisions); US foreign aid is prohibited to be used if it's to violate international,or US laws,or gross humanitarian rights. The US gives Israel $3.3 billion of foreign military financing every year, & that is subject to the Leahy laws. https://www.state.gov/key-topics-bureau-of-democracy-human-rights-and-labor/human-rights/leahy-law-fact-sheet/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/state-department-official-explains-why-he-resigned-over-u-s-response-to-israel-hamas-war https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/27/state-department-resignation-gaza-biden-policy
