The head of Human Rights Watch (HRW) said that states supplying weapons to Israel as it pursues conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon despite evidence of violations of international law are empowering belligerents elsewhere. Tirana Hassan, HRW’s Executive Director, said that countries like the United States, Germany and Britain could influence Israel’s actions and should do so by ending arms sales. “If there continues to be military support to the Israeli Defense Force and they (Western governments) know that these weapons are being used in the commission of war crimes, then that should be enough for weapons sales and transfers to stop,” she told in an interview. “At this stage, the parties that could have some sort of influence and curb the behavior of the warring parties, when it comes to Israel, it’s the US, it’s the UK, and it’s Germany, and it’s through weapons sales and transfers.”
