On October 28, a coalition of 12 former American officials who resigned from the Joe Biden administration due to his policy in Gaza called on the Democratic candidates in the 2028 presidential elections to reject this policy and to pledge not to nominate officials who contributed to Israel's genocide in Gaza. In a joint statement, they called on the candidates to recognize US complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza through weapons, funding and diplomatic support, and to ensure that those responsible for this policy are prevented from returning to positions of power.
The coalition included former officials from various departments:
Josh Paul, Anel Shalin, Stacey Gilbert, Hela Rarit and Mike Casey, Ana del Castillo, Lily Greenberg Cole, Tarik Habash and others.
