Washington (Quds News Network)- The US State Department has fired its top press officer for Israeli-Palestinian affairs after disputes over official language on Gaza and Israel, reported the Washington Post. The decision followed clashes about how to describe Trump administration policies, including his plan to forcefully expel Palestinians from Gaza. The firing came days after an internal debate over a statement on Gaza. Shahed Ghoreishi, the press officer, drafted a line that said, “We do not support forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.” State Department leaders ordered the line cut. Officials said the decision sent a clear warning: staff must not deviate from strongly pro-Israel messaging. Ghoreishi told The Washington Post he was given no reason for his dismissal. As a contractor, the department was not required to provide one. He said the move raised serious questions about US policy toward possible expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza. State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott dismissed reports of political bias. “Federal employees should never put their personal political ideologies ahead of the duly elected president’s agenda,” he said. Disputes inside the department intensified after Israel killed Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif in Gaza. Ghoreishi pushed to include condolences for slain journalists in a statement. Leaders rejected the idea, saying “no response is needed.” One of Ghoreishi’s key opponents was David Milstein, a senior adviser to US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Milstein pressed for using Israeli-preferred terms like “Judea and Samaria” instead of West Bank. He also sought a statement condemning Ireland for considering a ban on settlement trade. Diplomats blocked that move. Critics inside the State Department say Milstein often pushes Israeli government talking points beyond his role. Supporters of Ghoreishi argue he worked within guidelines and reflected President Trump’s own words when shaping messages. The debate comes as reports surface that Israel is in talks with South Sudan about expelling Palestinians from Gaza. Legal experts and human rights organizations call the plan ethnic cleansing. Israeli officials describe it as “voluntary migration,” a claim disputed as Israel continues to bomb Gaza and create unlivable conditions to push native Palestinians outside Gazaz
