State Dept. human rights staffer quits over Biden’s Gaza policy
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.

Quick Glance: US Congressional Leaders Propose Spending Bill to Cut UNRWA Funding
  • A new bill with support from Biden and bipartisan agreement aims to prevent a government shutdown and prohibit funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

  • The proposed spending bill from Congressional leaders in the US would avert a government shutdown but ban funding for the UNRWA.

  • The US has been UNRWA’s largest donor, and a ban would almost certainly lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

  • De-funding of UNRWA has been paused by some Western countries, led by the US, despite UNRWA denying allegations of having ties to Hamas.

Quick Glance: North Korea's Kim Supervises 'Super-Large' Rocket Launcher Drills
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw live-fire drills involving 'newly-equipped super-large' multiple rocket launchers.

  • The drills aimed to test the 'real war capabilities' of the 600-millimeter multiple rocket launchers and included simulating an aerial explosion of a shell at a predetermined altitude above the target.

  • Kim emphasized that the rocket launchers would be the 'core central striking means' in war preparations and that the army should possess destructive offensive means to block and suppress the possibility of war.

  • North Korea is banned from testing ballistic missiles due to long-running sanctions, and the latest tests were seen as the regime's attempt to demonstrate strength, signal costs on the Korean Peninsula for security cooperation, and warn Washington against increased pressure.
