A veteran official who worked on arms transfers at the U.S. State Department has resigned his post because of his objection to sending more weapons and ammunition to Israel, which he termed an “impulsive reaction” that would lead to more suffering for both Israelis and Palestinians.
“I fear we are repeating the same mistakes we have made these past decades, and I decline to be a part of it for longer,” the official, Josh Paul, wrote in a LinkedIn post on Oct. 18, explaining the reasoning behind his resignation.
