Former US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller stated that he believes Israel has committed “war crimes” in Gaza, according to Sky News.
Despite denying this fact during press conferences held under the Biden administration, Miller confessed that Israel undoubtedly committed crimes during its war in Gaza since October 2023. “It is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes,” he told British media Sky News.
He also noted that he could not have unveiled this opinion while he served as the US State Department spokesperson. “While you’re at the podium you’re not expressing your personal opinion, you’re expressing the conclusions of the United States government,” he said.
Although many pioneering genocide scholars in the world state that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute a genocide, Miller rejected to call it a genocide.
Miller said it was an “open question” whether Israel “has pursued a policy to deliberately committing war crimes or is acting reckless in a way that aids and abets war crimes.” However, he said that it was “almost certainly” that individual Israeli military members committed war crimes.
