<p>A number of State Department staffers joined with staffers from the Agency for International Development — 100 in total — in criticizing President Joe Biden&#8217;s response to the war between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.</p>
<p>Israel declared a state of war with Hamas after terrorists breached the border on October 7, slaughtering 1,200 Israelis – most of them civilians – and kidnapping more than 200, taking them into Gaza.</p>
<p>According to an <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/11/13/biden-gaza-hamas-policy-state-department-memo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios report</a> published on Monday, a five-page internal memo referred to as a dissent cable was &#8220;organized by a junior diplomat&#8221; and accused Biden of failing to deescalate the situation when Israel began to retaliate against Hamas — in addition to accusing Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza.</p>
<p>The dissent cable was written by Sylvia Yacoub — <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/11/04/genocide-biden-gaza-ceasefire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified by Axios</a> as a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Middle East Affairs — who criticized Biden directly via X in early November. &#8220;You are providing significantly more military assistance to the government that is indiscriminately attacking innocent Gazans …. you are complicit in genocide @POTUS,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Claiming that Israel had cut off electricity to Gaza and restricted aid, the memo alleged that those actions — and the Israel Defense Forces&#8217; targeted strikes on Hamas leaders and weapons&#8217; stores — &#8220;all constitute war crimes and/or crimes against humanity under international law.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yet we have failed to reassess our posture towards Israel. We doubled down on our unwavering military assistance to the (Israeli government) without clear or actionable redlines,&#8221; the memo continued, arguing that Israel&#8217;s response to Hamas should have caused the United States to adjust its policy.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700049368045000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3IkzXtKwtxiza1nNnlEg4X">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;Members of the White House and (the National Security Council) displayed a clear disregard for the lives of Palestinians, a documented unwillingness to de-escalate, and, even prior to October 7, a reckless lack of strategic foresight,&#8221; the memo continued, going on to chastise the Biden administration for refusing to take the word of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry when it came to assessing the number of casualties.</p>
<p>Secretary of State Antony Blinken addressed the dissent within the State Department, saying in a memo to staffers, &#8220;I know that for many of you, the suffering caused by this crisis is taking a profound personal toll. The anguish that comes with seeing the daily images of babies, children, elderly people, women, and other civilians suffering in this crisis is wrenching. I feel it myself. Some people in the Department may disagree with approaches we are taking or have views on what we can do better.&#8221;</p>
