  • This is the best summary I could come up with:


    More than three dozen people, including political appointees, administration staffers and civil service career staff, attended the early evening vigil in front of the White House.

    Josh Paul, a former State Department official who resigned from his job in October over disagreement with the Biden administration’s approach to the Israel-Hamas war, delivered opening remarks.

    “The US government’s decision to double down on fueling the violence has put our objectives … around the globe in jeopardy for us to achieve any movement on some of the most intractable issues we face today,” read the former administration official.

    “The temporary ceasefire ended 13 days ago, and we have been horrified to see the full resumption of killings, displacement and bombardment of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

    We must move with urgency to save as many lives as possible and achieve an immediate, permanent ceasefire agreement and the return of all hostages,” according to prepared remarks Paul made at the vigil on behalf of the group.

    This vigil comes at a time when there has been growing internal frustration among staffers within the Biden administration on how the president has responded following Hamas’ October 7 attack.
