USAA top State Department official responsible for overseeing arms transfers recently resigned in protestBidenThe government continues toIsraelProvide military assistance. He alleged that the government’s “unfair” policies had forced him to make “moral compromises” that even he could not accept.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and the U.S. political news website Politico reported that the former official Josh Paul posted a post on LinkedIn today to explain why he wanted to leave. “I fear we are repeating the mistakes of past decades and I refuse to continue to participate,” he wrote.

He stated in the article that he joined the agency 11 years ago, and another official from the State Department also confirmed his departure.
Paul said that the government’s decision to provide military aid to Israel forced him to make “moral compromises” that were unacceptable to him, and that he could not convince himself to support a series of major government decisions, “including providing large amounts of weapons to parties involved in the conflict in a short period of time.” ”.
He believes that the Biden administration’s decision is not only “short-sighted, destructive, unjust, and contrary to the values we publicly espouse.”
He said: “In these 11 years, I have made countless moral compromises. Each time I felt stressed, but each time I remembered the promises I made to myself, and these promises have never been broken. Now I decided to leave because I believed that I could no longer compromise on the current trajectory of continued, indeed expanded and accelerated, supply of lethal weapons to Israel.”
