After a 15-year career in the Foreign Service, Michael Casey resigned from the State Department in July over U.S. policy on Gaza and is now speaking out publicly for the first time. He was deputy political counselor at the United States Office for Palestinian Affairs in Jerusalem for four years before he left. Casey says he resigned after getting no action from Washington" for his recommendations on humanitarian actions for Palestinians and toward a workable two-state solution. We don't believe Palestinian sources of information," Casey says about U.S. policymakers. We will accept the Israeli narrative over all others, even if we know it's not correct." He also discusses what to expect for Gaza under the incoming Trump administration.
