State Department and other Biden administration officials who resigned over Gaza policy are calling on US presidential candidates to avoid hiring advisers they characterize as enablers of Israel, Middle East Eye reported. The letter follows remarks by a former senior Biden adviser who acknowledged the administration erred in failing to curb Israeli actions.
The signatories' move reflects deepening divisions within Democratic circles over US support for Israel and the handling of the Gaza conflict. Their public pressure on candidates suggests the Gaza issue will remain contentious in upcoming presidential races.
