We will uphold NATO obligations and that is all, nothing more.

Why are they requesting sanctions on Israel, but not the USA?

"War crimes" are infractions against International Humanitarian Law, most notably, and infractions against a package of pther laws commonly grouped as "International Law of Armed Conflict"

The letter is demanding sanctions in response to violations of International Law. That is a totally different level of laws which, in the context of the current conflict, America and Israel and breaking equally.

I also highly doubt that America is committing fewer violations of IHL than Israel, but I've got a middling confidence interval on that.
