The officials claim that Joe Biden's Middle East policy is "a failure and a threat to US national security" and that it "dehumanizes both Palestinians and Jews." They had earlier resigned from their positions due to the government's actions since fighting began on October 7.

Ruffalo shared his opinions on the joint statement on X, "Now from within what we have all been saying from the outside. What Israel is doing to the Palestinians is illegal and amoral and Biden's administration has signed off on the worst of it."

He added, "There is no end in sight—untold suffering unfolding and a disaster for Americans, Israelis, and Palestinians alike. The resignee statement speaks volumes to this issue."

Celebrities who supported Ruffalo included Cynthia Nixon from 'Sex and the City,' who reposted it, and Marcia Cross from 'Desperate Housewives,' who shared it with the caption "YES."

According to the media outlet, four State Department officials, three military personnel, one representative from the US Agency for International Development, and four members of Biden's political staff have signed the joint statement.

The statement read, "Each of us has sworn an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and as our nation celebrates its Independence Day, each of us is reminded that we resigned from the government not to terminate that oath but to continue to abide by it; not to end our commitment to service, but to extend it."

It added, "This failed policy has not achieved its stated objectives—it has not made Israelis any safer, it has emboldened extremists while it has been devastating for the Palestinian people, ensuring a vicious cycle of poverty and hopelessness, with all the implications of that cycle, for generations to come. As a group of dedicated Americans in service of our country, we insist that there is another way."
