According to Reuters, during Biden's administration, U.S. intelligence officials temporarily halted sharing some key information with Israel out of concern over Israel's actions in the Gaza war. In the second half of 2024, the United States cut off real-time video sharing from a U.S. drone conducting missions 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 at least. In addition, the United States also limited the way 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 were also worried about allegations of abuse of Palestinian prisoners by Israel's internal security agency, Shin Bet. In addition, they were concerned that Israel had not provided sufficient guarantees regarding its compliance with international law when using U.S. intelligence. According to U.S. law, U.S. intelligence agencies must obtain such guarantees before sharing intelligence with foreign countries.
