US Official Sparks Outrage: From Defending Israel to Accusing it of War Crimes

Former US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller Faces Backlash for Gaza War Crimes Remarks On June 3rd, 2025, a video interview with Matthew Miller, former US State Department spokesperson, went viral. Miller stated that Israeli forces' actions in Gaza constitute war crimes. This declaration sparked immediate outrage, given his previous public defense of Israel's conduct during his time in office. Social media erupted with comments condemning Miller's apparent change of heart. The video includes various social media posts highlighting the discrepancy. One post by Seyed Mohammad Marandi reads, "Matthew Miller, the former US State Department spokesperson, has publicly declared that Israel is "without a doubt" committing war crimes in Gaza." This underscores the public's perception of Miller's shift in stance. Miller's interview reveals internal disagreements within the US government regarding the conflict. He states that the US government "had not concluded that they've committed war crimes." This highlights the complexity of the situation and the differing opinions within the US administration. The video also features clips of Miller's previous press briefings, where he defended Israel's actions. This contrast between his past and present statements is a core element of the controversy. The situation is further complicated by the UN accusations against Israel, adding an international dimension to the issue.
