Lawsuits against the US government for its support of Israel’s onslaught on Gaza are being carried over to the Trump administration, a human rights group says, Al Jazeera reports.

Despite several US State Department officials documenting Israel’s “acts of genocide” in Gaza, the administration of former US President Joe Biden disregarded these reports, leading to legal action against the former administration by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s executive director, said President Biden and his administration were fully aware of Israel’s disregard for international law during the conflict.

Awad said lawsuits filed on behalf of Palestinian-American families who lost loved ones in the fighting — carried out with US weapons — are now proceeding under the new administration.

President Biden and former Secretary of State Antony Blinken covered up and dismissed US reports outlining Israel’s criminal conduct, Awad alleged.
