Andrew Miller cited family reasons but resignation is latest in a string of departures from Biden administration since Israel’s war on Gaza began.
A senior US Department of State official and expert on Israeli-Palestinian affairs has resigned this week, United States media reported, amid the eight-month war in Gaza that has killed more than 37,400 Palestinians.
Andrew Miller, the deputy assistant secretary for Israeli-Palestinian affairs, cited personal reasons for his decision to leave his job, The Washington Post newspaper reported on Friday.
Miller told colleagues that he wanted to spend more time with his family as the current conflict which started in October had “become all-consuming”, the report said.
He was a sceptic of US President Joe Biden’s “bear hug” approach towards Israel’s government, said the Post, which first reported Miller’s departure.
Miller’s is the latest in a string of resignations from the Biden administration across several government agencies over Washington’s continued support for Israel.
