White House Staff Criticize Biden's Israel Policy

Internal dissent regarding President Biden's Israel policy is escalating as over 20 White House staffers have expressed frustration in a letter criticizing the administration for not acting on demands made by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on October 13. The letter highlights the insufficient humanitarian aid entering Gaza, which fell drastically short of the requested target of 350 daily truckloads. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly criticized the Biden administration's policies, claiming they have consistently misjudged the situation, particularly regarding civilian casualties during military operations. As the U.S. government prepares for a United Nations Security Council vote on a controversial anti-Israel resolution, concerns are rising about the administration's potential inaction, reminiscent of past approaches. Despite ongoing internal protests, Biden has maintained strong support for Israel, with the staffers warning that failure to take decisive action could result in a legacy of horror. The administration's handling of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza remains a contentious issue as the death toll continues to climb.
