The senior CIA official who posted a pro-Palestinian image on Facebook in the wake of Hamas's deadly attack on Israel is associate deputy director for analysis Amy McFadden, the agency confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon.
McFadden's criticism of Israel comes as President Joe Biden faces a revolt in the federal government over the Jewish state's military response in Gaza after Hamas's attacks left at least 1,400 dead, including 32 Americans.
McFadden is one of the most senior officials within the CIA and was once responsible for overseeing the president's "Daily brief," a summary of classified intelligence, the Financial Times reported.
In her role as associate deputy director for analysis, McFadden oversees the approval of all the agency's intelligence.
Although McFadden's particular beliefs on Israel are unclear, she "Liked" one post by the International Crisis Group in the last week.
McFadden's LinkedIn banner image is a graphic with text that says "I am for equity because equity starts with everyone." According to McFadden's profile, she started at the CIA in 1999 and worked in leadership roles at the Office of North African, Arabian Peninsula, and Regional Analysis.
"Ms. McFadden is the recipient of several prestigious IC awards, including the Intelligence Medal of Merit, the CIA Director's Award, and the George H.W. Bush Award for Excellence in Counterterrorism," her profile states.
