Senior education official cites Biden's 'blind eye to the atrocities' in Gaza as reason for resignation
Tariq Habash's resignation is the latest sign of unease within the ranks of the Biden administration over the president’s handling of Israel.
Hasnain says:
“Habash’s two-page letter suggests that whatever Biden has done to rein in Israel has failed to prevent an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
“I cannot be quietly complicit as the administration fails to leverage its influence as Israel’s strongest ally to halt the abusive and collective punishment tactics that have cut off Palestinians in Gaza from food, water, electricity, fuel and medical supplies, leading to widespread disease and starvation,” he wrote.”
