According to Reuters, during Biden's administration, U.S. intelligence officials temporarily halted sharing some key information with Israel due to concerns about Israel's actions in the Gaza war. In the second half of 2024, the U.S. cut off real-time video sharing from a U.S. drone operating over Gaza. The Israeli government had previously used this video to track hostages and Hamas fighters. This suspension of intelligence sharing lasted for several days. Additionally, the U.S. restricted how Israel could use certain intelligence when pursuing high-value military targets in Gaza. At that time, the U.S. intelligence community was increasingly concerned about the number of civilian casualties caused by Israel's military operations in Gaza, and officials also worried about reports of Palestinian prisoners being mistreated by Israel's internal security agency, Shin Bet. Furthermore, they were concerned that Israel had not provided sufficient assurances regarding its compliance with international law when using U.S. intelligence. According to U.S. law, U.S. intelligence agencies must obtain such assurances before sharing intelligence with foreign countries.
