Fmr. State Dept. Official Says Her Colleagues Urged Her to ‘Speak for Us’ After Resigning over Gaza Policy

‘In particular it was that we are not upholding U.S. laws’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SHELINE: “In particular it was that we are not upholding U.S. laws. That there are laws against providing weapons to governments that commit gross violations of human rights and block U.S. humanitarian aid. These laws are not being upheld. I think this is not only having obviously a devastating effect on the people of Gaza but this is also devastating for America, for this administration, which came in claiming to want to reestablish America’s leadership. Claiming to uphold the rule of law, to live in international order. I think for myself and other colleagues who believe in the mission of the State Department and believe in the values that America claims to uphold, these decisions were — it became untenable to stay with this administration.”
