"A Show of Human Solidarity": Ex-U.S. Diplomat to Join Global March to Gaza to Break Israel's Siege
Activists from around the world are planning a Global March to Gaza on June 15 in support of Palestinians enduring the Israeli blockade. The first Biden State Department diplomat to publicly resign over Gaza policy, Hala Rharrit, plans to attend the march along with thousands of others who will walk from Cairo to the Rafah border. "Silence does not ensure that we will be OK," says Rharrit. "It's quite the opposite. Silence ensures the injustice spreads." Rharrit had served as the Arabic-language spokesperson for the State Department. She joins us from Dubai as she prepares for the march.
