In his resignation letter, Paul strongly condemned Hamas before blasting the Biden Administration for failing to put American interests first.

“Let me be clear: Hamas' attack on Israel was not just a monstrosity; it was a monstrosity of monstrosities.”

“But I believe to the core of my soul that the response Israel is taking, and with it the American support both for that response... will only lead to more and deeper suffering for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people - and is not in the long term American interest.”

“This Administration’s response and much of Congress’ as well - is an impulsive reaction built on confirmation bias, political convenience, intellectual bankruptcy and bureaucratic inertia.”

“Blind support for one side is destructive in the long term to the interests of the people on both sides. I fear we are repeating the same mistakes we have made these past decades, and I decline to be a part of it for longer.”
