A top CIA official posted a pro-Palestine image on Facebook two weeks after Hamas attacked Israel, FT reports.

The CIA’s associate deputy director for analysis changed her Facebook cover photo on October 21 to an image of a man waving a Palestinian flag that is often used in stories criticising Israel.

The Financial Times has decided not to name her after the intelligence agency expressed concern about her safety.

In a separate Facebook post, the senior intelligence official also published a selfie with a sticker saying “Free Palestine” superimposed on the photograph. One person familiar with the image said it was posted to Facebook years ago and long before the current conflict.

This person added that the senior official had also published posts on Facebook taking a stand against antisemitism.
