‘Fire is consuming us’: Survivor recounts horror of Mawasi camp attack
The resignation of senior diplomat Andrew Miller from the US State Department is the latest in a string of resignations from the Biden administration across a range of government agencies.
And it underscores growing frustration within the Biden administration over the president’s staunch support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
Already, there have been a number of high-profile resignations, where those who have resigned have said that the president in some cases is twisting the facts or even turning a blind eye, or is complicit in the 37,000 Palestinian deaths and counting in Gaza.
This not only underscores the growing frustration within the government but also outside the government.
Just two weeks ago, we saw thousands take to the streets outside the White House to protest Israel’s war on Gaza. And we expect as we head towards the November presidential election that those protests will continue.
When Joe Biden appears in public appearances he is often met by protesters who call him “Genocide Joe”.
We also expect that there will be further protests when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint session of Congress next month. We know already that there will be a large number of members of Congress who plan to boycott that address.
