'White House Lied To Congress About Israel-Gaza, Per Official Resigning In Protest
Stacy Gilbert, a 20-year State Department employee ... was tasked with answering ... whether Israel was thwarting the flow of humanitarian assistance
That question had enormous implications: The US Foreign Assistance Act prohibits aid to countries that thwart the flow of US humanitarian aid.
Senior officials shut her and other subject matter experts out of the project
Gilbert: "the report came out on May 10 ... the conclusion...that Israel was not blocking humanitarian assistance ... that was absolutely not the opinion of experts in the State Department, USAID, the humanitarian community, organizations working in Gaza ... There is abundant evidence showing Israel is responsible for blocking aid. To deny this is absurd and shameful ... Members of the US government...made a conscious choice to deny the facts in Gaza in order to continue military support for Israel ... I cannot continue working for a government that denies and enables Israel's deliberate carnage in Gaza."'
