A top national security official resigned from the Trump administration Tuesday in response to the war on Iran. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby," Joe Kent, who served as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, wrote in his resignation letter.
We speak with Josh Paul, a former State Department official who resigned in 2023 to protest the Biden administration's Gaza policy. He says Kent is at least the 16th U.S. official in the last few years to resign over policy related to Israel, spanning both the Biden and Trump administrations.
"We know that there is a very visible, very vocal debate happening in the Democratic Party on that topic. It's clear that there is also a very vocal debate happening within the right wing of American politics," says Paul.
