A Jewish member of the Biden administration has quit over the president’s managing of Israel’s involvement in the war in Gaza.
Lily Greenberg Call, the first Jewish staffer in the Biden administration known to have quit in response to the president’s backing of Israel against Hamas in Gaza released a letter on May 15 describing her decision.
“I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration,” said Greenberg Call, a former special assistant to the chief of staff in the Interior Department, in a statement on Wednesday. “He is making Jews the face of the American war machine. And that is so deeply wrong.”
Call’s letter cites casualty numbers released by the Hamas terror group that have been widely debunked, accusing the Israel Defense Forces of killing more than “35,000 people in Gaza, including 15,000 children.”
