A former top State Department official under President Biden has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of committing genocide in Gaza — with U.S. participation. Wendy Sherman served as deputy secretary of state until her retirement in July 2023. She spoke with Mishal Husain of Bloomberg Podcasts.

Wendy Sherman: “I think that it is critical that Israel remain an ally of the United States and that we protect the right of a Jewish state. But I also believe that the prime minister has led us down a road, and we have been part of it, that has, in essence, created a genocide in Gaza.”

More than a dozen Biden administration officials resigned their posts to protest U.S. policy toward Israel and its treatment of Palestinians. Click here to see our interviews with many of them.
