Washington, March 28 (RHC)-- Another U.S. State Department official has publicly resigned over the Biden administration’s support for Israel. 

Annelle Sheline was a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor who focused on promoting human rights in the Middle East and North Africa. 

In an interview with Democracy Now, Annelle Sheline said: "Many people are extremely horrified by the U.S. government’s position on this horrific conflict and the actions of both the Israeli and the U.S. governments.  There is the dissent channel inside the State Department.  I was in — I co-wrote a cable and signed other cables.  There have been forums for State Department employees to speak out.  I spoke with supervisors.  I was able to speak with a senior official about my resignation.  I think, at the end of the day, many people inside State know that this is a horrific policy and can’t believe that the United States government is engaged in such actions that contravene American values so directly.  But the leadership is not listening."
