US federal employees with 22 agencies plan to walk off the job this Tuesday to protest the Biden administration’s handling of the Gaza conflict, according to a report by US outlet Al-Monitor, Al Jazeera reports.

The group is reportedly calling itself Feds United for Peace and consists of dozens of government employees who will be observing a “day of mourning” to mark 100 days of Israel’s brutal attacks on Gaza.

The organisers have chosen to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal by the US government, but they have said they expect to see “easily hundreds” participate in the walkout.

Walkouts are expected at crucial top agencies, including the Executive Office of the President, the National Security Agency, the Departments of State, Defence, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs as well as US Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Naval Research Laboratory.
