British Secretary of State resigns for policy toward Gaza

Sayeeda Warsi, a senior British Foreign, submitted her resignation Tuesday to Prime Minister David Cameron, due to government policy regarding the Gaza offensive. ” Regretfully much I wrote this morning the Prime Minister and I have submitted my resignation. Most can not support its policy on Gaza,” wrote Tuesday on her Twitter account. The conservative policy calls for more action to achieve an ” immediate ceasefire ” to avoid ” the killing of innocent civilians.” Warsi, of Pakistani origin and mother of five children, is also minister of faith and communities.
