Former State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says that he personally believes Israel has been committing war crimes against the Palestinian people — including during his tenure in the Biden administration, where, as a major voice of U.S. foreign policy, he daily defended Israel’s flattening of Gaza to the American public.
Speaking to Sky News’ Mark Stone on the “Trump 100” podcast, Miller said on Monday that it is “without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes” in the territory. When Stone asked if he held this belief while serving as spokesperson, he said yes.
“Look, one of the things about being a spokesperson is you’re not a spokesperson for yourself. You’re a spokesperson for the president, the administration — and you espouse the positions of the administration,” Miller said. “And when you’re not in the administration, you can just give your own opinions.”
The ex-State Department official said he believes Israeli soldiers committed war crimes in individual instances rather than as part of a wider policy of systematically erasing the Palestinian people, as much of the international community has now accused the Israeli government.
“We were expecting it coming,” Hamid Bendaas, spokesperson for the pro-Palestinian nonprofit IMEU Policy Project, told HuffPost of Miller’s admission. “But I think this is the first foray of that — of Biden admin officials being like, ‘Oh yeah, we were hard on Israel, we weren’t super pro-Israel,’ after saying for over a year that they were the most pro-Israel administration of all time, and a lot of the reporting since then obviously backing it up.”
