The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is facing internal turmoil as members threaten to quit after the union refused to condemn terrorism against Israel.

The controversy arose after celebrity agent Maha Dakhil made social media posts about a Hamas terror attack on Israel. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has dropped his talent agent at Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and returned to William Morris Endeavor (WME) following the controversy.
