US State Department Senior Advisor resigns over "Patently False" Report on Israel's blocking of humanitarian aid: Julian Borger / The Guardian

Stacy Gilbert, a senior US State Department advisor has resigned over what she called a 'patently false State Department report absolving Israel of blocking the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza's people.

"“There is consensus among the humanitarian community on that. It is absolutely the opinion of the humanitarian subject matter experts in the state department, and not just in my bureau – people who look at this from the intelligence community and from other bureaus. I would be very hard pressed to think of anyone who has said [Israeli obstruction] is not an issue,” Gilbert said. “That’s why I object to that report saying that Israel is not blocking humanitarian assistance. That is patently false.”

"Smith and Gilbert bring the total number of Biden administration officials to have publicly resigned over US policy on Gaza to nine, though Josh Paul, the first official to resign, said that at least two dozen more had left quietly, without a public declaration."
