New York Times reporter resigns in reaction to coverage of the war in the Middle East
A New York Times writer has “resigned” after signing a letter accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinian people — and denouncing her own paper’s coverage of the country’s war against Hamas.
Jazmine Hughes, a staff writer for New York Times Magazine, left the publication Friday, the paper told staffers in an email obtained by The Post, according to the New York Times.
“While I respect that she has strong convictions, this was a clear violation of The Times’s policy on public protest,” said magazine editor Jake Silverstein. “This policy, which I fully support, is an important part of our commitment to independence.”
Former President Barack Obama said during a recent interview that what is happening to the Palestinians is unbearable.
