Sure, here's a rewritten version:
"WASHINGTON—Concerns are growing in Washington over a secret memorandum that expanded intelligence sharing with Israel following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
People familiar with the issue worry that this information might be contributing to civilian deaths.
One major concern is the lack of independent oversight to verify that U.S.-supplied intelligence isn't being used in strikes that unnecessarily harm civilians or damage infrastructure.
The U.S.-Israeli intelligence-sharing agreement has received less public scrutiny than U.S. weapons sales to Israel but is now prompting questions from Democratic lawmakers and human-rights groups.
The Biden administration is increasingly alarmed by how Israel is conducting its military campaign in Gaza after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks, which killed about 1,200 Israelis.
This has led to questions about whether the intelligence sharing and American arms sales are consistent with U.S. values and national-security interests.
Israel’s military operation since the Oct. 7 attack has resulted in the deaths of about 32,000 residents of Gaza, according to Palestinian health authorities. Israel disputes this figure, stating that more than one-third of the dead are militants.
The military campaign has also caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure, including mosques, hospitals, and universities.
Israel justifies this destruction by claiming that Hamas intentionally embeds its military infrastructure within civilian areas.
Rep. Jason Crow (D., Colo.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, expressed concerns about the current intelligence-sharing arrangements.
He emphasized the need to ensure that the intelligence shared is in line with U.S. values and interests.
The intelligence sharing with Israel is conducted under a secret memorandum issued by the White House shortly after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack. U.S. intelligence agencies compile instances of potential violations of the laws of armed conflict by both sides in Gaza in a biweekly report.
However, top White House policymakers ultimately determine whether any violation has occurred.
Despite these concerns, Israeli military spokesman Rear Adm.
Daniel Hagari has emphasized the unprecedented levels of intelligence coordination between Israel and the U.S.
He stated that intelligence sharing is mainly focused on helping locate the leaders of Hamas’s military wing, finding hostages held by the group, and monitoring Israel’s borders.
The U.S. does not share intelligence specifically intended for ground or airstrike operations in Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
It requires Israel to ensure that U.S. intelligence isn’t used in ways that cause unacceptable civilian casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure.
However, Israel is responsible for certifying its own compliance, making it challenging to verify how U.S.-provided intelligence is used once combined with Israel’s own data.
In addition to intelligence sharing, the administration is also evaluating assurances from Israel regarding the use of U.S.-provided weapons in accordance with humanitarian law.
Israel provided these assurances in March, which are required to continue receiving U.S. weapons.
Human Rights Watch and Oxfam have argued that these assurances are not credible and have called for the suspension of arms transfers to Israel.
The administration continues to weigh these concerns while navigating the complex dynamics of the conflict."
