A US State Department official resigns because of his country’s support for the occupation. – Algerian dialogue

The News Times newspaper published the news of the resignation of senior employee Josh Paul after spending 11 years as director of Congressional and Public Affairs in the office that oversees arms transfers to foreign countries. Josh Paul resigned in protest against the Biden administration’s decision to continue sending weapons and ammunition to the Israeli occupation.

In his resignation letter, Josh Paul said that “blind support for one side” of the Biden administration was leading to policy decisions that were “short-sighted, destructive, unfair, and contradictory to the very values ​​we publicly embrace.” Islamic countries called on America and its allies to ensure the establishment of… An independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people.

The situation was no different at the United Nations. Craig Mokheiber, head of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in New York, gave up his position, in protest against the Gaza massacre, which was carried out by the occupation under the protection of Washington. Craig accused the Security Council of failing to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people. He stressed that the main structures of the UN Security Council “collapsed under the power of the United States, as well as under the pressure of the Israeli lobby.” He added, “They no longer respect the principles of the organization and the rules of international law.” The United States, Great Britain and most European countries have become partners in the “horrific attack” against the Palestinians.”

Western governments arm the Israeli occupation, provide it with economic support, provide it with intelligence information, and politically cover the “Israeli crime.” Palestinian media reports stated that “the West does not deserve trust as a mediator of a peaceful settlement because it is a party to the conflict.”

In this situation, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is focusing on providing full support for the occupation, which prompted a number of figures affiliated with the Democratic Party to call on the party to guarantee the right of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state.
