"Biden's Gaza Policy Sparks Internal Strife and Criticism"

The mood among State Department staff is reportedly worse than during the Iraq War, with growing dissent over President Biden's policy on Gaza and Israel. Seven international aid workers were killed by Israel in Gaza, leading to internal opposition and at least two public resignations. Despite internal opposition, the Biden administration approved the transfer of thousands of bombs to Israel and is considering an $18 billion sale of fighter jets and other equipment. There is a disconnect between State Department personnel's analysis and policy recommendations regarding Gaza and decisions made by the White House. Biden warned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that future US policy towards Israel will depend on concrete steps to address civilian harm and humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
