Senior Biden official Tariq Habash resigns over US support for Israel

“The president’s unwillingness to move on this policy is deafening and it hurts.”

A senior political appointee at the US Department of Education announced his resignation on Wednesday citing the Biden administration’s continued support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Habash’s resignation is only the second since Josh Paul, a senior State Department official who oversaw arms transfers, resigned from his post in the days after the war on Gaza began.

More than 22,000 Palestinians have been killed Israel since 7 October, including at least 9,100 children.

I voted for Biden too and am shocked and disappointed at his callous enabling of this genocide. Yes I hold him responsible for this genocide.

A man with a conscience. Thank you for speaking up.

My heart is broken i am not Muslim nor from Palestine but what is happening has showed me the hypocrisy and double standards in people which has come in the open as worst human behaviour

[faisalamod]

Well done. Let’s all stand up against US hypocrisy and vote Biden out as well.

[derekparris]

Unfortunately, it's not only Biden thinks this way. If a republican gets the nod as president in the next election, this policy will continue 😢

[heryanthiheryanthi]

You took a right step, don't sell our soul to the darkness, few of joy in this temporary life, and everlasting terrible punishment in the hereafter

[andrewdyrda]

America has shown itself to be a 1-party State.
Tragic.

Better to resign than be later arrested for war crimes.
