ISLAMABAD:<\/strong> Former U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller has acknowledged that Israel has committed war crimes during its military actions in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sky News\u2019 \u2018Trump 100\u2019 podcast, Miller, who served under President Joe Biden, revealed that there were numerous internal disagreements within the U.S. administration over how to handle Israel\u2019s operations in the enclave.<\/p>\n

Miller, no longer bound by official government positions, stated that as a spokesperson, he had to align with the administration\u2019s stance even when he personally disagreed.<\/p>\n

\"conflict, \"Israel,<\/p>\n

Now free from those constraints, he openly described some of Israel\u2019s actions as criminal under international law.<\/p>\n

U.S. Policy Divisions on Israel Come to Light<\/h3>\n

According to Miller, the Biden administration was internally divided over how to approach Israel\u2019s military conduct, especially in Gaza.<\/p>\n

He noted that while working in the State Department, he encountered both minor and significant policy clashes related to the conflict.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"Gaza<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were disagreements all along the way about how to handle policy. Some of those were big disagreements,\u201d he said. These disagreements, while not always public, reflect a broader unease within parts of the U.S. government regarding unconditional support for Israel amid growing civilian casualties and destruction in Gaza.<\/p>\n

War Crimes Acknowledged, Genocide Denied<\/h3>\n

While Miller rejected the label of genocide, he made it clear that certain actions taken by Israel during its operations in Gaza were in direct violation of international law. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s genocide,\u201d he said, \u201cbut I think it is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments mark a rare and significant public admission from a former high-ranking U.S. official and could fuel ongoing debates about accountability, foreign aid, and America\u2019s role in the conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
