US to investigate Israel for human rights abuses in Gaza

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday that the United States is investigating allegations of human rights abuses by Israel during its operations against Hamas in Gaza.

Revealing the State Department's yearly human rights report, Blinken dismissed accusations of the United States maintaining a double standard regarding Israel and human rights.

"Do we have a double standard? The answer is no," Blinken told reporters.
