A State Department staffer who resigned in protest over President Biden's Israel policy explained staffers feel 'betrayed' by the administration's 'extreme support' for Israel amid its ongoing offensive in Gaza.

Josh Paul, who worked for the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, quit last October. Pro-Palestinian protesters have increasingly interrupted White House and campaign events to put pressure on Biden, most recently being a ritzy Biden fundraiser on Thursday in New York City.
