A group of US government employees who have publicly resigned in protest of the Biden administration's Gaza policies released a joint statement outlining their shared belief in speaking up against these policies. The 12 signatories, who resigned at various points during the conflict between Israel and Hamas, expressed their concerns about the US government's support for Israel and its impact on the Palestinian population in Gaza.
The officials argue that the administration's policy in Gaza is a failure and poses a threat to US national security. They criticize the continuous flow of arms to Israel, which they believe contributes to the killings and forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. The group calls for a change in US policy towards Gaza, emphasizing the need for diplomatic efforts to bring the conflict to an immediate close.
