The United States on Thursday rejected an accusation by Human Rights Watch (HRW) that "Israel" was committing "acts of genocide" in Gaza by targeting water infrastructure. The claim was part of a report released by the New York-based organization earlier in the day.

"When it comes to a determination of something like genocide, the legal standard is just incredibly high, and so the finding in this scenario we just disagree with," State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters. "That does not take away from the fact that there is a dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza."

Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator, said Biden should “very seriously consider” the use of preemptive pardons to protect members of Congress who investigated Trump’s role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

Trump has threatened to prosecute those involved in the 6 January congressional investigation and other top Democrats, including the California senator Adam Schiff, the California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, and the former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney.
