Twelve American government officials have resigned in protest against President Joe Biden's policy towards Gaza. The officials, who come from various sectors including civil service, foreign service, armed forces, and political appointees, issued a joint statement condemning the U.S. administration's support for Israel during its nearly nine-month war in Gaza. They argue that Biden’s policy has failed and threatens national security, accusing the U.S. of complicity in the killing and starvation of civilians by providing diplomatic cover and a continuous flow of arms to Israel. The conflict, which began on October 7, has led to the resignation of at least nine U.S. officials.
