Another employee of President Biden’s State Department has resigned over U.S. policy toward Gaza. Mike Casey quietly left his role as deputy political counselor on Gaza — one of only two jobs specifically focused on Gaza — in July, after realizing all his reports were systematically dismissed despite the rapidly mounting death toll and catastrophic humanitarian situation Gaza.

Casey found that, unlike in his previous diplomatic work in Malaysia, China and Pakistan, the U.S. government does not expect Israeli authorities to listen to any of their recommendations or demands, and instead defers completely to Israel. Mike Casey told The Guardian in an interview about his resignation he “got so tired of writing about dead kids” and that “We don’t have a policy on Palestine. We just do what the Israelis want us to do.”
