Is the US complicit in Israeli war crime...

Al Jazeera
About this episode

The US has again vetoed the UAE's proposal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. There was global condemnation of Washington's move. Jordan reflected the view of the Arab world saying the veto is a licence for Israel to carry on with the massacre. How will America's stance affect its relations with Arab allies? And as some rights groups say, does it run the risk of being complicit in Israeli war crimes?
