Foreign Office staff told to consider resigning if they disagree over Gaza

Foreign Office staff, including over 300 employees, who expressed concerns about UK ties to Israel's actions in Gaza were told they could consider resigning if they profoundly disagreed with government policy. The staff questioned UK arms sales and Israel's actions, citing a disregard for international law. The response from senior officials urging resignation has sparked outrage and disappointment among employees concerned about the lack of action on their warnings. The officials' letter raised issues like civilian casualties in Gaza, aid restrictions, and settlement expansion, highlighting challenges in the Civil Service's policy-making process.
