In a powerful letter posted on his public LinkedIn profile, Mann criticized the US for its unwavering support of Israel, stating that it has led to the killing and suffering of innocent Palestinians. He also warned about the potential for further escalation and wider war due to this unconditional backing.
The Biden administration is facing increasing internal dissent over its Middle East policies, with the recent resignation of US Department of State Arabic language spokeswoman, Hala Rharrit. Rharrit’s public resignation, in protest of the government’s handling of Israel’s actions in Gaza, is part of a larger trend of officials stepping down in opposition.
Josh Paul and Tariq Habash are among the highest-ranking officials to resign over the administration’s approach to the conflict in Gaza, highlighting the growing discontent within the government regarding its stance on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
These resignations reflect a broader shift in US foreign policy discourse and raise questions about the government’s role in the ongoing conflict in the region.
