Israel has disregarded humanity, relentlessly raining death upon civilians for 14 consecutive days.

Israel's indiscriminate bombings targeting civilians, whether in hospitals, mosques, churches, or refugee camps, have spurred both staunch U.S. support and growing dissent.

Following U.S. President Joe Biden's unconditional pledge of support to Israel, a senior U.S. official resigned, and a notable report from the U.S. Department of State was leaked. U.S. officials are gearing up for a potential revolt.

RESIGNATION OVER UNBEARABLE SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL

Unable to tolerate the U.S. backing Israel while it rains bombs on children, a high-ranking U.S. official published a resignation letter on LinkedIn.

In the wake of this resignation, a significant rift over Israel has surfaced within the United States. According to a report in the U.S. media, senior U.S. officials are "preparing for a revolt."

An article titled "Rebellion Brewing in the State Department Over Israel-Palestine Policy" was published on HuffPost.

Reportedly, U.S. Department of State officials were left deeply disappointed with the unwavering U.S. support for Israel's genocidal and displacement policies against Palestinians.

Criticism was directed towards U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his team for disregarding expert recommendations.

A State Department official stated, "Fundamentally, there's a revolt brewing at every level within the Department."

The report reminded that Israel is preparing for a ground operation in Gaza, while diplomats critical of U.S. policy have drafted a document called the "Opposition Telegram."

This document came to light after the resignation of Josh Paul, who held the position of Director-General in the "Arms Supply to Allies and Partners" unit at the U.S. Department of State.

The "Opposition Telegram" aims to illustrate the extent of panic within the U.S. government regarding its stance on Gaza and the widespread disagreement with President Biden's policies.

Sarah Harrison, formerly employed in the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security and currently working at the non-profit Crisis Group, had previously stated, "If you work for the federal government and question everything Israel does, you get pushed aside and silenced."

The report highlighted the chilling effect within the Biden administration's personnel, indicating that they felt compelled to remain silent on expressing their views regarding the Israel-Palestine issue and were even "ashamed" to work in the U.S. government.

The newspaper had previously shared details of directives given to diplomats in the region.

According to these directives, State Department officials were instructed not to use expressions like "reducing tension/ceasefire," "putting an end to violence/bloodshed," and "restoring calm" regarding the situation in Gaza.

A General Director in the U.S. Department of State, serving in the "Arms Supply to Allies and Partners" unit, had announced his resignation.

Josh Paul, holding this position, explained his reasons for resignation in a letter published on the professional social network LinkedIn.

According to the letter, when he started working in that unit, he was aware that he would face some moral dilemmas, and he decided to continue as long as the benefits outweighed the costs.

Paul stated that during his 11-year tenure, he had made moral concessions, but the transfer of "lethal weapons to Israel" went beyond his limits.

Paul emphasized that they couldn't support both anti-occupation and pro-occupation stances, and the policy pursued by Israel with U.S. support harmed both Israelis and Palestinians significantly.

Paul pointed out that blindly supporting one side does not benefit either party, highlighting that the U.S. was repeating past mistakes.

In his statement, "I no longer want to be a part of this," Paul announced his resignation from his 11-year post.
