Education Department Official Quits Over Biden's Gaza Stance
HuffPost
Tariq Habash, a Palestinian American, is the second top official to quit over U.S. handling of Israel’s war in Gaza.
Education Department official Tariq Habash resigned from his position Wednesday with a letter stating that President Joe Biden has turned “a blind eye to the atrocities committed against innocent Palestinian lives” in Gaza.
In a two-page letter to Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, Habash, who is Palestinian American, outlined his reasons for leaving.
“[T]he actions of the Biden-Harris Administration have put millions of innocent lives in danger, most immediately for the 2.3 million Palestinian civilians living in Gaza who remain under continuous assault and ethnic cleansing by the Israeli government. Therefore, I must resign,” he said.
In the letter, Habash described himself as a descendent of Palestinian Christians who lived through the violent 1948 mass relocation effort to create the Israeli state.
