[26/April/2024]

WASHINGTON April 26. 2024 (Saba) - Hala Gharit, the Arabic-speaking spokeswoman for the US State Department, submitted her resignation yesterday evening in protest against Washington’s policy towards the war on Gaza, in at least the third resignation from the ministry due to this issue.

According to Reuters, Hala wrote on the social networking site (LinkedIn): “I resigned in April 2024 after 18 years of distinguished service in protest against US policy in Gaza.”

For his part, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, when asked about the resignation in a press conference on Thursday evening, said that the ministry has channels for its employees to exchange views when they do not agree with government policies.

About a month earlier, Anil Shielen of the State Department's Human Rights Office announced her resignation, and State Department official Josh Ball also resigned in October.

Tareq Habash, a senior official at the US Department of Education, who is American of Palestinian descent, resigned from his position in January.
