British Foreign Office employees criticize their country's complicity with Israel.

Anxiety is rising within the corridors of the British government over the repercussions of the official stance on the war in Gaza.

The BBC network reported today, Tuesday, that more than 300 employees at the British Foreign Ministry sent a letter to Minister David Lamy last month expressing their deep concern about the possibility of Britain's "complicity" in the violations committed by Israel in Gaza, criticizing the continued arms exports to it and its blatant disregard for international law.

Senior officials at the ministry responded to the letter by affirming that those who "deeply oppose" government policies can resort to the option of resigning as a "dignified path," sparking widespread anger among employees who saw the response as a closure of the space for discussion and expression of concern.

The British Foreign Ministry confirmed that it has systems in place to allow employees to express their concerns, adding that the government has "strictly applied international law" regarding the war in Gaza. The response to the employees' letter came from Sir Oliver Robbins and Nick Dyer, the top government officials at the Foreign Ministry. They told the signatories, "If you disagree with any aspect of the government's policy or actions, your ultimate refuge is to resign from the civil service. This is honorable behavior."
