US officials who quit over Gaza urge 2028 presidential hopefuls not to hire war supporters

Several former US officials resigned in protest from President Joe Biden's administration over support for Israel during the Gaza conflict. They have now written to 2028 presidential hopefuls urging them not to hire individuals responsible for committing genocide in Gaza. The signatories of the letter emphasized their solemn oath to the Constitution and the American people, stating that officials who violate laws, interests, and values must be held accountable.

The officials accused senior Biden administration officials of actively downplaying their roles in the Gaza policy. The letter calls on candidates for the 2028 presidential nomination to commit to not hiring any administration official directly responsible for enabling Israel's military actions in Gaza. Although the election is still two years away, speculation is already growing about potential candidates.

While Republican politicians typically support Israel, progressive Democrats have criticized the United States' close relationship with the Middle Eastern ally. Vice President Kamala Harris faced significant challenges from progressive voters due to her involvement in the administration. The letter reminds all US officials of their duties and responsibilities to follow the law and always remember their position's responsibility, even in difficult circumstances.
