"We [US officials] have lost ALL credibility": Hala Rharrit on quitting US State Dept. and ending complicity in Gaza
(Democracy Now!) Oct. 23, 2024: As human rights groups continue to point out Israel's war crimes, DN! speaks to the only U.S. diplomat to publicly resign from the Biden administration over its pro-genocide policy position.
DN! first spoke to Hala Rharrit when she resigned from the State Department in April, citing the illegal and deceptive nature of U.S. policy in the Middle East.
"We continue to willfully violate laws so that we surge U.S. military assistance to [war criminals in] Israel," she says after more than a year of Israel's war on Gaza.
Rharrit says she found the Biden administration immovable in its "counterproductive policy," which she believes has gravely harmed U.S. interests in the Middle East.
"We are going to feel the repercussions of that for years, decades, generations."
