“There’s no space for substantive dissent within the system on this one,” the former U.S. official said.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan , US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. President Joe Biden listen to Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as they join a meeting of the Israeli war cabinet in Tel Aviv on October 18, 2023, amid the ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas.
“When I came to this Bureau … I made myself a promise that I would stay for as long as I felt the harm I might do could be outweighed by the good I could do,” Paul wrote. “I am leaving today because I believe that in our current course with regards to the continued — indeed, expanded and expedited — provision of lethal arms to Israel — I have reached the end of that bargain.
“There’s no questioning on this one. There’s no space for substantive dissent within the system on this one. And that’s what led me to my decision,” Paul. He said that his decision to resign came not from a single point, but from watching the U.S.’s response unfold in the days since the Hamas attack.
