The Biden administration says Israel’s use of U.S-provided weapons in Gaza likely violated international humanitarian law. But the administration says wartime conditions in the Palestinian territory prevented U.S. officials from determining that for certain in specific airstrikes. The administration’s findings of “reasonable” evidence to conclude that its ally had breached international law in its conduct of the war in Gaza represent the strongest such statement from Biden officials. The findings were released to Congress on Friday.

Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly has vetoed proposed restrictions on foreign ownership of land in Kansas. Kelly rejected a bill that top Republicans argued would protect military bases from Chinese spying. Kansas House Speaker Dan Hawkins accused Kelly of “apathy” toward serious national security threats from China and other nations declared by the U.S. government to be adversaries “of concern.” Those nations include Cuba, Iraq, North Korea and Venezuela. The bill would have prohibited more than 10% ownership by foreign nationals from those countries of any non-residential property within 100 miles of any military installation. That would have been most of Kansas. Kelly said it was too broad.

Social media users shared a range of false claims this week. Here are the facts: France did not send troops to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war. The French Foreign Ministry called the claim “disinformation.”  Images do not show the Soviet Victory banner projected by hackers onto the east side of Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on Tuesday night, prior to annual festivities celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. The images were fabricated.

A transitional council tasked with choosing new leaders for Haiti is changing the way it operates in a move that is surprising many as gang violence consumes the country. Two members who were not authorized to publicly share the changes because they had not yet been announced told The Associated Press that instead of a single council president, four politicians will take turns leading the council every five months. The changes follow inner turmoil that threatened to derail the council after it was sworn in April 25. The changes come as Haiti awaits a U.N.-backed police force to help fight gangs whose attacks have closed the main airport and paralyzed the largest seaport as food and other crucial goods dwindle.
