CIA Official's Pro-Palestinian Social Media Posts Spark Controversy

The incident highlights internal divisions within the US government over the handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

CIA's associate deputy director for analysis shared pro-Palestinian images on her Facebook page, causing controversy within the agency and leading to an internal reminder about agency policy on social media posts.
The posts were shared just two weeks after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, during a time when President Biden was pledging US allegiance to Israel.
The official, who was not named for safety reasons, has since deleted the posts. She previously oversaw the production of the President’s Daily Brief.
The incident highlights divisions within the US government over the handling of the Israel-Hamas war, with hundreds of government officials and former campaign staffers signing open letters urging President Biden to lobby for a ceasefire to protect Palestinians.
CIA Director William Burns is currently in Qatar, meeting with Israeli and Egyptian counterparts to discuss the possibility of extending the pause in fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
