Miller, point-person for Israeli-Palestinian affairs, was a critic of Biden's "bear hug" approach to Israel and is described by people who know him as stalwart supporter of Palestinian rights and statehood, Washington Post reports.Miller pushed for the US to use its leverage over the Israeli regime, including the substantial military, economic, political and diplomatic support it provides to Tel Aviv, more effectively, says a US official.
Miller told colleagues that he is leaving his post because he has rarely been able to see family during the course of Israel's 260-day war and that if not for them, he would have preferred to stay in his job to"fight for what he believes," the Post reported. "He's certainly on the more progressive side of administration officials when it comes to the region, including on Israel-Palestine, but he has also never been a 'burn it all down and forgo pragmatism' type," the official said.
His resignation comes on the heels of at least eight other Biden administration officials' departures who left in protest of the war in Gaza and the president's hitherto refusal to break lockstep with the Israeli regime.
