Fresh protest in White House on Biden’s Israel policy (Politico, 2024-11-18)
Fresh, latest and perhaps the last? Anyway, I’d like to remember there have been a number of conscientious White House staffers throughout…
“… a group of at least 20 White House staffers call out the Biden administration for failing to follow through on demands issued … on Oct. 13, which required Israel to take ‘concrete measures’ within 30 days to improve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.”
“‘You are running out of time to do the right thing, but decisive action could save precious lives in the next two months,’ the staffers write.”
“This marks the latest in a flurry of letters from U.S. government officials urging Biden to cut or condition U.S. support for Israel…”
“… An open letter in July signed by more than 500 appointees and staffers condemned the deep humanitarian impact of U.S. policy while funding the war in Gaza.”
