Fired State Dept. Official: Trump outsourcing U.S. policy to Huckabee & Israel

From MSNBC.

The Washington Post reported that Trump’s State Department fired Shahed Ghoreishi, its top press officer on Israeli-Palestinian affairs, without explanation. His firing followed disputes over statements about Gaza; one condemning the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza City, and another mourning the targeted killing of journalists by Israeli forces. Both statements were blocked by the Trump Administration. Ghoreishi joined MSNBC’s The Weekend: Primetime to discuss the lead-up to his firing and how Israel and U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee are steering U.S. foreign policy in the region.
