Josh Paul, Who Quit State Dept. Over Gaza, Slams Latest U.S. Weapons Sale to Israel

Support our work: The Biden administration has bypassed Congress to approve an “emergency“ sale of over $100 million of tank ammunition to Israel. Congress was notified just hours after the United States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a Gaza ceasefire. We get response from Josh Paul, former director of congressional and public affairs for the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, which oversees arms transfers to Israel and other nations. Paul resigned from the State Department in October to protest the Biden administration’s push to increase arms sales to Israel amid its ongoing siege on Gaza.
