Tehran, IRNA – In a “dissent memo” addressed to President Joe Biden and signed by 100 staff members from the US State Department, the signers have protested the ongoing war between the Zionist regime and the Palestinian Resistance movement, Hamas.

The State Department employees criticized President Biden for his speech delivered on October 10, just three days after the Israeli regime's attack on the Gaza Strip. They said Biden's speech spread “misinformation” about the war and supported the Zionist regime, which is committing “war crimes” in Gaza.

The memo urges senior US officials to reassess their policy towards Israel and demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of over 11,500 Palestinians, more than 8,000 of whom were children and women.

This internal dissent within the State Department represents a significant challenge to the Biden administration’s current policy. It reflects growing concern about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and calls for a more balanced approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
