Rashida Tlaib calls on Antony Blinken 'to resign now'

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) called on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to resign over allegations that he overrode the findings of experts from within the department to keep U.S. arms shipments to Israel continuing.

The U.S. Agency for International Development and the department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration delivered their assessment that Israel had been deliberately blocking the delivery of food and medicine into Gaza in April, ProPublica reported earlier this week. The assessment, if it came to light and Blinken agreed with it, would require the United States to stop weapons shipments to Israel because U.S. law requires it to cut off military aid to countries that block the delivery of U.S.-backed humanitarian aid.
