US government officials who resigned in protest over Washington's involvement in the Israeli war on Gaza have confirmed the US complicity in the Israeli actions against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, describing it as genocide.

In an interview for CBS' 60 Minutes on Sunday, the officials emphasized that "Israel" could not have carried out war crimes in Gaza without military support from the United States.

"What is happening in Gaza would not be able to happen without US arms. That’s without a doubt," said Hala Rharrit, a former diplomat working on human rights.

"I would show the complicity that was indisputable; fragments of US bombs next to massacres of mostly children. And that’s the devastation. It’s been overwhelmingly children."

Rharrit stated that she was instructed not to report on the documented images emerging from Gaza that depict Israeli crimes.

She said "I would show images of children that were starved to death. In one incident, I was basically berated," adding, "Don’t put that image in there. We don’t want to see it. We don’t want to see that the children are starving to death."

Rharrit added that after three months of the Gaza war, she was told her reports were no longer required.

A former senior US State Department staffer, Josh Paul, also stressed, "There is a linkage between every single bomb that is dropped in Gaza and the US because every single bomb that is dropped is dropped from an American-made plane."

He pointed out that the majority of "Israel's" bombs and technology, as well as all of its fighter jets and fixed-wing fleets, are supplied by the United States.

It is important to note that Paul resigned on October 18, 2023, after 11 years as a director in the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, citing a policy disagreement over the US' continued aid to the Israeli occupation.

US sent 'Israel' over $22 billion in military aid

Earlier this month, Israel Hayom reported that "Israel" has received military aid from the United States worth over $22 billion since October 7, 2023.

The report indicated that over 10,000 tons of ammunition, valued at $2.4 billion, were initially sent to "Israel", noting that this amount has increased fivefold, reaching 50,000 tons by August 2024.

According to the report, Washington also sent "Israel" a variety of advanced military equipment, including missiles for the Iron Dome defense system, precision-guided bombs, CH-53 heavy-lift helicopters, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, 155mm artillery shells, bunker-buster bombs, and armored vehicles.

Israel Hayom highlighted that the total revenues of "Israel's" three major arms manufacturing companies rose by 15% following the outset of the aggression on Gaza, reaching $13.6 billion.

The US aid packages to "Israel" demonstrate clear complicity and involvement in the ongoing war on Gaza, which has resulted in the martyrdom of thousands of Palestinians since October 7, 2023.
