Ex-U.S. Diplomat Joins March to Gaza, Says Biden Official Matthew Miller Has "Blood on His Hands"
Activists from around the world are arriving in Egypt ahead of the Global March to Gaza, set to launch June 15, when thousands plan to march to the Rafah border to call for an end to Israel's genocide against Palestinians and its blockade of the territory. Dozens who flew to Cairo for the march have reportedly been detained, interrogated and deported by Egyptian security forces, but organizers say the event will proceed as planned. Former U.S. diplomat Hala Rharrit, who is taking part in the march, spoke with Democracy Now! earlier this week and said she could not turn a "blind eye" to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. "What type of world are we going to be allowing our children to grow up in, if we stand by while an entire civilian population is forcibly starved?" Rharrit asks.

Rharrit was the Arabic-language spokesperson for the State Department before she resigned in 2024 to protest the Biden administration's Gaza policy. She accuses her former colleague Matthew Miller of "careerism" after he recently admitted on a podcast that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, even though he regularly denied that while serving as a spokesperson for the State Department under Biden.

"No Kings": 1,800 Rallies Planned as Trump Threatens "Very Heavy Force" on Army Parade Protesters
A nationwide "No Kings" movement plans to hold over 1,800 anti-Trump rallies across the United States on June 14, the same day as President Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C., as he celebrates his 79th birthday. Organizers are protesting President Trump's mass deportations, militarized crackdown against protesters, defiance of court orders, and attacks on civil rights. "We're going to show him on June 14 that real power lies in the people," says Leah Greenberg?, co-founder and co-executive director of ?Indivisible. Tanks and other armored vehicles are being transported to Washington, D.C., for the parade, which Marine Corps veteran JoJo Sweatt calls an "egregious overspend." President Trump threatened heavy force would be used on anyone who protests at the parade in D.C.

"A Show of Human Solidarity": Ex-U.S. Diplomat to Join Global March to Gaza to Break Israel's Siege
Activists from around the world are planning a Global March to Gaza on June 15 in support of Palestinians enduring the Israeli blockade. The first Biden State Department diplomat to publicly resign over Gaza policy, Hala Rharrit, plans to attend the march along with thousands of others who will walk from Cairo to the Rafah border. "Silence does not ensure that we will be OK," says Rharrit. "It's quite the opposite. Silence ensures the injustice spreads." Rharrit had served as the Arabic-language spokesperson for the State Department. She joins us from Dubai as she prepares for the march.
