Dissatisfaction with US Policy on Israel
The podcast episode discusses the dissatisfaction and resignations of government officials over the US government's approach towards the war in Gaza. Josh Paul, a former State Department official, talks about his resignation due to the rapid approval of arms transfers to Israel without sufficient consideration of the potential harm caused. Tara Kabash, a former policy advisor in the Department of Education, also resigned over disappointment with the administration's lack of response to the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.
