Several former members of the Biden administration have resigned in protest over US support for Israel during the Gaza war. These officials, including those from the White House and the State Department, have urged 2028 presidential hopefuls not to hire individuals responsible for enabling Israel's military actions in Gaza. The signatories to a letter addressing this issue emphasized that US officials take an oath to uphold the Constitution and the American people's best interests.
They accused senior Biden administration officials of actively distorting their roles and working to achieve illegal and wrongful ends in violation of both US and international law. Former State Department employee Annelle Sheline highlighted how US support for Israel made it challenging to promote human rights in the Middle East.
While the election is still two years away, speculation is already circulating about potential candidates. Both Republican and progressive Democrats have expressed varying degrees of support or criticism for Israel. The letter to 2028 presidential hopefuls serves as a reminder to all US officials of their duties and responsibilities to follow the law and always strive to do the right thing.
