The State Department responded Wednesday to questions surrounding the resignation of Annelle Sheline, a staffer who publicly left out of moral opposition to U.S. inaction regarding Israeli offensives in Gaza.
The Department of State has responded to inquiries about a staffer who publicly resigned over U.S. inaction regarding the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza. Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller pushed back on former staffer Annelle Sheline's public resignation earlier in the day, which she told outlets was due to being 'unable to serve an administration that enables such atrocities' occurring in Gaza.
He continued, 'There is a broad diversity of views inside the State Department about our policy with respect to Gaza just as there is a broad diversity in the State Department about our policy in a number of important foreign policy issues. As there is a broad diversity of views and opinions throughout American society about this issue and others.
