Israel Faces Possible Sanctions over Cluster Bombs

HeadlineJan 29, 2007

The Bush administration is expected to inform Congress today that Israel may have violated agreements with the United States when it fired U.S.-supplied cluster munitions into civilian areas in southern Lebanon last summer. The New York Times reports officials at the Pentagon and State Department are divided over whether Israel should be sanctioned for its use of the cluster bombs. Israel has already acknowledged it fired thousands of American cluster munitions, but it denied violating agreements that prohibit their use in civilian areas.
