Factbox-US officials who have resigned in protest over Biden's Gaza policy
President Joe Biden's support for Israel during its nearly nine-month war in Gaza has spurred a dozen U.S. administration officials to quit, with some accusing him of turning a blind eye to Israeli atrocities in the Palestinian enclave. The Biden administration denies this, pointing to its criticism of civilian casualties in Gaza and its efforts to boost humanitarian aid to the enclave, where health officials say nearly 38,000 have been killed in Israel's assault which has also led to widespread hunger. Israel launched its offensive in Gaza after Hamas-led militants stormed into Israel on Oct. 7, killing around 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages, according to Israeli figures.
