Biden policy on Israel-Gaza sparks warnings, dissent, resignations - 60 Minutes [View all]
U.S. policy on Gaza has led to widespread dissent at the State Department, with some questioning how far Washington is going in its support of Israel.
Thirteen officials, including from the State Department, White House and Army, have publicly resigned in protest. Many believe U.S. policy on Gaza runs counter to American values and threatens national security.
Josh Paul, who was one of the officials in charge of signing off on major weapons deals to U.S. allies, resigned just 10 days after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, which spurred a war that's likely claimed the lives of more than 70,000 people in Gaza, according to a study published late this past week in the medical journal the Lancet.
