For the past 18 years, Hala Rharrit has served in the State Department, and for the past year and a half, she served as an Arab language spokeswoman until announcing her resignation due to the Biden administration’s policy on the Israel-Hamas war.

“I had full intentions of continuing on in my career until I reached senior levels,” Rharrit told CNN. “I never had the intention of resigning.”
