Senators say US is complicit in Israel's ethnic cleansing of Gaza

They describe the massive destruction of civilian infrastructure and severe restrictions on humanitarian aid, calling this the "use of food as a weapon of war."
Their report emphasizes that Netanyahu's strategy aims to destroy homes and deprive Palestinians of basic necessities, presenting the massacre as a "voluntary emigration" that is in fact forced.
