In a move that has drawn flak from several prominent American journalists, a top official within the Joe Biden administration has accused HuffPost journalist Akbar Shahid Ahmed of making up quotes in a report – about a 90-day plan to rebuild Gaza after the conclusion of the recent violent flare-up.
The report was published on Friday and was headlined “A top Biden official is pushing an urgent post-Gaza plan that’s alarming some insiders”. According to the report, diplomat Brett McGurk is promoting a controversial plan to rebuild Gaza which has left many in the White House concerned about how it could negatively impact the region. “In this vision, Palestinian leaders would agree to a new government for both Gaza and the occupied West Bank and to ratchet down their criticisms of Israel, while Israel would accept limited influence in Gaza,” read the report.
