"Divergent DOJ Approaches to War Crimes in Ukraine and Gaza"

The U.S. Department of Justice has taken a strong stance against war crimes in Ukraine, indicting four Russian military personnel for alleged war crimes. However, the department's response to the Israel-Hamas conflict has been notably silent, with Attorney General Merrick Garland making only brief remarks about investigating Hamas but not mentioning Israel's actions. Legal experts believe there are grounds to investigate both Hamas and Israel for war crimes under U.S. law, but political and geopolitical considerations may complicate any potential prosecutions.
