Biden administration sees second resignation over Israel-Palestine policy
- Tariq Habash, a Palestinian-American, resigned from the Education Department over Biden's response to the Israel-Hamas Gaza war
- Habash volunteered for Biden's 2020 campaign but says the administration's actions now endanger 2.3 million Palestinian civilians
- He accuses Israel of "atrocities" and "ethnic cleansing" against Palestinians that Biden is ignoring
- This is the second Biden administration resignation over Israel policy after a State Dept official quit in October
- Habash said he "cannot stay silent" and represent an administration that "does not value all human life equally"
