In an interview with Bloomberg’s The Mishal Husain Show, Wendy Sherman said she was not in a position to make a legal determination on whether genocide had occurred in the besieged enclave, but added there was “no doubt that Gaza was demolished”. "It is critical that Israel remains an ally of the US and we protect the right of a Jewish state," Sherman, who served as deputy secretary of state between 2021 and 2023, said.
