A high-level Biden appointee announced her resignation from the Interior Department on Wednesday in protest of the administrations Gaza policy joining the growing list of government officials speaking out against the continued U.S. support for Israel s military offensive that over the past seven months has devastated the Palestinian enclave.

In her resignation letter, Lily Greenberg Call, the special assistant to Interior Secretary Deb Haalands chief of staff, Rachael Taylor, called President Joe Biden out by name and criticized his administrations lack of condemnation.

I joined the Biden Administration because I believe in fighting for a better America, for a future where Americans can thrive: one with economic prosperity, a healthy planet and equal rights for all people. I have dedicated my career to candidates who I believed would further this vision, Call wrote in her resignation letter to Haaland.

However, I can no longer, in good conscience, continue to represent this administration amidst President Bidens disastrous, continued support for Israels genocide in Gaza .

Call has served as a special assistant to Taylor since February 2023. She was appointed to her position after working as a field organizer for Vice President Kamala Harris primary campaign in 2019 and then for Bidens campaign in 2020.
