A former State Department staffer, Annelle Sheline, resigned in protest over President Biden’s Israel policy, feeling that colleagues were “betrayed” by the administration’s strong support for Israel during the Gaza offensive. Sheline criticized the U.S. for aiding Israel despite what she perceived as humanitarian violations. Sheline mentioned Biden’s pledge to restore America’s moral leadership but felt it was not fulfilled. The Biden administration has faced criticism over its stance on Israel, with tensions escalating after the U.S. did not veto a UN resolution for a Gaza ceasefire. Approval of Israel’s actions among Americans has decreased according to a recent Gallup poll.
