Israel-Hamas War: US official resigns over Biden’s ‘destructive, unjust’ arms to Israel

Josh Paul condemns administration’s ‘intellectual bankruptcy’ in providing weapons and for its support of ‘status quo of occupation’

A US government official has resigned because he disagrees with President Biden's decision to send more weapons to Israel. The official, Josh Paul, worked in the state department and was responsible for dealing with Congress and the public regarding military matters. He thinks that providing more weapons to Israel is a bad idea and goes against the values the US claims to support. He believes that this approach will only lead to more suffering for both Israelis and Palestinians. He also criticized the government's response as being based on political convenience and lacking in intellectual reasoning.

President Biden plans to ask Congress for $10 billion in military assistance for Israel. Meanwhile, the conflict between Israel and Hamas has caused a high number of casualties in Gaza, with thousands of people killed and wounded. The situation in Gaza is becoming a health crisis due to the lack of access to clean water.
