War on Gaza: State Department official resigns over US support for Israel
Quick Glance: Resignation Due to US Support for Israel
  • A senior official at the State Department resigned in protest against the almost impossible promotion of human rights due to US support for Israel's war in Gaza.

  • Annelle Sheline, aged 38, announced her resignation while still in the middle of her two-year contract with the US Department of State as a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

  • Initially hesitant to publicly announce her resignation, Sheline was encouraged by colleagues opposing US support for Israel's actions in Gaza.

  • These resignations are the latest in a series of public protests against the Biden administration's support for Israel, leading to internal turmoil within the US State Department.

Quick Glance: Hezbollah's Retaliation Rocket Attack on Israel, Casualties Reported
  • An Israeli assault hit a health center in southern Lebanon; Hezbollah attacks have killed a man in an Israeli border town.

  • Hezbollah said it launched dozens of rockets at Kiryat Shmona, an Israeli border town, in response to Israeli strikes on Lebanon's southern village of al-Habbariyeh that killed seven people.

  • The Israeli military and Iran-aligned Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas, have been exchanging near-daily fire across the border since October when the current conflict in Gaza started.

  • Last month, Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah said Israel will pay a price 'in blood' for killing Lebanese civilians, signaling the conflict across the Lebanon-Israel border could intensify.
