on Israel not blocking aid to Gaza?

It's complicated. She was on the committee to write the report. She was removed from the committee at a time when the report said Israel was blocking aid. The final report, ten days later, said they were not blocking aid. Were people on the committee to write the report removed for pointing out Israel's culpability in what was going on?

There have been a number of state department resignations over our relationship with Israel. This is most senior one I have seen so far.

Supply trucks from the US have not been getting through to Gaza because they have been looted before they make it through. The pier that the US built to get the supply trucks there has now fallen apart.

"Thursday her resignation was precipitated by an administration report to Congress that she said falsely stated Israel was not blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza"

I simply meant to point out that phrasing the link this way could be confusing.

Agreed. The way this article was written was a confusing mess.
