Biden-Era Officials Who Quit over Gaza Urge 2028 Candidates to Denounce Policy Architects
Twelve former officials say candidates should repudiate the policy and avoid hiring aides they say enabled Israel’s military actions in Gaza.
- On Wednesday, twelve former officials who resigned from the Biden administration called on 2028 Democratic presidential candidates to denounce the administration's Gaza policy, urging them to "acknowledge the complicity of the United States government in Israel's genocide in Gaza."
- The group resigned between late 2023 and mid-2024 over United States support for Israeli military actions in Gaza, demanding 2028 candidates commit to not hiring officials "directly responsible for enabling Israel's military actions in Gaza."
- A video accompanying the statement highlighted Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Jake Sullivan; both expressed concerns about civilian killings while the administration maintained diplomatic and military support for Israel.
- Progressive Democrats, including Representative Rashida Tlaib and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, have opposed United States support for Israel, eroding Democratic backing amid concerns over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ties to Republicans.
- Israel maintains its military campaign is self-defense following the deadly Hamas-led attack in October 2023, while multiple rights groups, experts, scholars, and UN inquiries have assessed that Israel's devastating assault on Gaza amounts to genocide.
