democracynow.org/2024/3/28/annelle_sheline
Quick Glance: Resignation Due to US Support for Israel
- A senior official at the State Department resigned in protest against the almost impossible promotion of human rights due to US support for Israel's war in Gaza.
- Annelle Sheline, aged 38, announced her resignation while still in the middle of her two-year contract with the US Department of State as a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
- Initially hesitant to publicly announce her resignation, Sheline was encouraged by colleagues opposing US support for Israel's actions in Gaza.
- These resignations are the latest in a series of public protests against the Biden administration's support for Israel, leading to internal turmoil within the US State Department.
