U.S. State Department official resigns over military aid to Israel
"A U.S. State Department official who worked on global arms transfers resigned Wednesday due to his opposition to the Biden administration's additional military aid to Israel amid the war with Hamas.
Why it matters: Josh Paul, who was director of congressional and public affairs at the department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, announced his resignation on LinkedIn in a rare act of public dissent against the Biden administration as the president prepares to ask Congress for an unprecedented military aid package for Israel following his visit to Tel Aviv Wednesday.
Paul, who had been at the State Department for 11 years, called the response of the Biden administration "an impulsive reaction built on confirmation bias" and "intellectual bankruptcy" and said he couldn't work in support of a "shortsighted, destructive, unjust" policy."
