Blinken cannot verify whether US weapons were used by Israel in Rafah

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he couldn't verify whether Israel used US-supplied weapons in its Sunday strikes on Rafah which killed at least 45 Palestinians, many of them women and children.

Blinken said an investigation would be needed in order to know what weapons were used and how they were used.

The comments come after the Biden administration spent months writing a report on whether US weapons were used by Israel in violation of international law.

The report said there were reasonable grounds to believe that American weapons were used in contravention of international humanitarian law, but it couldn't make a definitive conclusion.
