USAID Employees Support Ceasefire, Biden Urges Humanitarian Pause, Israeli Envoy Shares Hamas Footage, Biden Questions Hamas Hostages

Over 1,000 employees at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have signed a letter calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, expressing dissent against US support for Israel's military offensive. The letter, which has garnered support from officials across USAID's departments and overseas missions, criticizes the violations of international law and mounting civilian death toll in Gaza. The employees urge the US government to join the international community in holding all parties accountable to international law, including ending Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territories. Despite growing calls for a ceasefire, US President Joe Biden has expressed unwavering support for Israel, while the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate.
