Journalists Grill US State Dept Official on Arms Role in Israel-Gaza Conflict | Dawn News English

Journalists pressed Matthew Miller, the US State Department spokesperson, on the US role in the Israel-Hamas war, particularly regarding the use of US-provided weapons that have killed Palestinian civilians.

Miller acknowledged the difficulty of the situation and expressed trouble over the ongoing civilian deaths, but struggled to provide a clear condemnation of Israel's actions.

When asked if the US would condemn Israel's targeting of civilians, Miller emphasized the need for Israel to minimize civilian casualties while pursuing legitimate military targets like Hamas leaders.

However, he stopped short of directly condemning the killing of civilians, instead reiterating the need for a ceasefire to prevent further deaths.

Journalists pushed back, calling for stronger language from the US to condemn the killing of civilians, rather than simply stating that it's "not allowed".
