A former American diplomat said the steady stream of U.S. bombs and other weapons sent to Israel with few conditions is putting America's national security at risk as the Arab world grows more volatile -- and hostile to U.S. interests -- than ever.

"None of this is helping Israel," Rharrit said of Israel's ongoing war in Gaza. And the policy of shipping military aid with few conditions to Israel is "fundamentally bad for America," Hala Rharrit told ABC News.

For 18 years, Hala Rharrit was a career veteran diplomat who took pride talking about American values such as human rights and freedom of the press. Now, she's the first U.S. diplomat to resign her post in protest of Biden administration policies toward Israel and the war in Gaza, according to the US news network. 

The idea of diplomats and career government workers quitting their posts isn't new. Resignations also occurred in the George W. Bush administration during the Iraq War as officials questioned the rationale for the U.S. invasion and deaths of American service members.

Those protest resignations are back on the rise this spring as Rharrit has been joined by nearly a dozen government workers in recent months who have abruptly resigned in protest to the Biden administration’s policies toward Israel and the Gaza conflict.

For Rharrit, part of her job at the State Department immediately following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel was to report back to Washington how Arab audiences viewed the conflict. As an Arabic-language spokesperson based in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, Rharrit would scour local media outlets and track popular personalities on social media reporting on the war.

What Arab audiences watched, she said, was mostly traumatizing images of children being killed or severely wounded in Israel's bombing campaign. Young people, freshly orphaned, were everywhere, too -- vowing revenge against Israel and the U.S. for supplying the weapons. There were also images of aid trucks backed up along the border juxtaposed with infants dying of malnutrition.

At the same time, Rharrit said she was given talking points to deliver to those Arab outlets -- carefully crafted phrases approved from State Department headquarters in Washington.

"Israel has a right to defend itself" and "the U.S. stands with Israel" were the oft-repeated phrases that omitted any mention of the heavy death toll of civilians, journalists and aid workers inside Gaza.
