Alexander Smith , a contractor for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) said he was given a choice between resignation and dismissal.
Smith and Stacy Gilbert , a state department official from the bureau of population, refugees and migration, sent an email to colleagues explaining that she was leaving because of an official finding that Israel was not deliberately obstructing the flow of food or other aid into Gaza .
Smith was scheduled to present a paper to an internal USAID conference about maternal and child mortality in Gaza and the West Bank .
The paper had been cleared for publication by the conference organisers but when it came to the attention of USAID ’s Middle East section, Smith was asked to make redactions.
After 24 hours of discussing edits, the USAID leadership changed its mind and ordered the talk to be cancelled altogether.
Two days after his talk was cancelled, he was called by his direct employer and told his contract would be terminated early.
