As Democratic support coalesces behind Vice President Kamala Harris in her run for the White House, we speak with Lily Greenberg Call, who worked on Harris’s presidential campaign in 2019 and went on to join the Biden administration before resigning from her position in the Interior Department to protest U.S. support for Israel’s war on Gaza. She was the first Jewish political appointee to publicly quit because of the administration’s Middle East policy, part of a wave of resignations over the war. She says Harris must seize the opportunity to “chart a new path” on Gaza and overall Israel-Palestine policy. “People are watching, through social media, a genocide being live-streamed, and they’re realizing that it’s their tax dollars and American weapons being used to kill children — and they’re not OK with it,” says Greenberg Call.
