Biden Administration Officials Resign Over Gaza Policy

Over a dozen officials from the Biden administration, including Mike Casey, have resigned in protest against U.S. support for Israel amid the ongoing Gaza conflict, citing a disregard for humanitarian crises and Israeli actions viewed as atrocities. Casey, who served as deputy political counselor on Gaza, expressed disillusionment over the administration's failure to address the gravity of the situation, stating, 'I got so tired of writing about dead kids.' Reports indicate that more than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, leading to widespread hunger and displacement. The administration has denied accusations of ignoring civilian casualties, emphasizing its humanitarian efforts in Gaza. However, the resignations highlight a growing dissent among officials who feel complicit in U.S. policies that enable violence. As the conflict escalates, the Biden administration faces increasing pressure to reassess its Middle East strategy.
