Muslim body calls for Blinken’s resignation over Gaza aid report.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to resign after it was revealed he ignored assessments by US government agencies and officials indicating that Israel blocked US aid to Gaza earlier this year.

Investigative news outlet ProPublica reported yesterday that the US Agency for International Development told the State Department in April that Israel was subjecting US humanitarian aid destined for Gaza to “arbitrary denial, restriction and impediments”.

In May, Blinken delivered a State Department report to Congress stating the opposite.
