State Department staff criticized President Biden's full support for Israel's bombing of Gaza in a dissenting memo, according to Politico.

Politico says Tuesday it is on the memo, which said that the harsh criticism of Biden's handling of the war reflects the feelings of many American diplomats, especially at the mid-level and lower levels. The Huffington Post also previously reported that a "rebellion" was brewing within the State Department.

One of the provisions in the memorandum calls for the United States to support a ceasefire in Gaza, while the Biden administration said it supports a “humanitarian truce” but refused to use the term ceasefire.

The memo also calls on Biden administration officials to publicly criticize Israeli military tactics and treatment of Palestinians. The memo says the lack of public comments critical of Israel “contributes to regional public perceptions that the United States is a biased and dishonest actor, which at best does not serve US interests around the world, and at worst harms them.”

The memo said: “We must publicly criticize Israel’s violations of international standards, such as the failure to limit offensive operations to legitimate military targets.” She adds: "When Israel supports settler violence and illegal land seizures or uses excessive force against Palestinians, we must publicly declare that this conflicts with our American values so that Israel does not act with impunity."

The memo criticizes the United States for accepting the high rate of civilian casualties in Israeli bombing, saying that doing so “generates doubt in the rules-based international order that we have long defended.”

According to Politico, it is not yet clear how many people signed the memo or whether it was actually submitted to the State Department's opposition channel, which was created during the Vietnam War to give diplomats a way to criticize policy.

The report said that the strong memorandum is unlikely to significantly influence President Biden or his senior aides, at least not anytime soon.
