State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel deflects questions on Geneva Conventions

State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel faced questions regarding claims of Israel violating the Geneva Conventions in Gaza but refrained from answering, citing uncertainty about their accuracy or verifiability.

According to reports, Israel employed a tactic of using audio recordings of crying infants and women, transmitted from drones, to lure Palestinians to locations where they could be targeted. At least seven people have been injured by the attack at Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp.

Every time they ask this guy a question he says he doesn't have a clue about it, then why the heck are you a spokesperson?

[AROS]

"Never seen the report" "still under investigation" "don't have a full assessment" How come these people never answer anything?

[msdtpt]

It's really sickening to see these Double standards 🇵🇸

[esmaanderson]

That's a textbook case of being deliberately obtuse.

Well done to Sam Hussaini for pushing. The spoke person couldnt even say he recognised the Geneva conventions! That shouldn't be controversial.

[mariaserralheiro]

Evade, evade, and protect at all costs War criminals just like ourselves that is what he meant.

[DiablosSukuros]

Now that's how all media should question these politicians

[Revived]

The next reporter should've asked the exact same question deliberately!

[annielamountain]

Good for this reporter exposing his lies.

[islandman]

Reporters need to get together here and insist they get an answer and not let a non answer occur and then move on to the next reporter. ANSWER THE QUESTION!!

[dinahadjami]

I'm surprised that independent journalists bottled up their frustrations this long. Great work Sam!

[Mamali]

This creep of a Raj Kapoor is one visa that should not have never been granted!

[emilymorton]

If i was a reporter in that room, i would have asked the very same question. Every reporter should have repeatedly asked that question

[Abster]

Patel needs to put down his Mummy’s Dhoklas and needs to gain some morality and decency instead of gaining weight

[sandrajones]

This is what is needed. Quit letting them control a false narrative. Demand Clear answers for questions that ought to be simple to answer and yet they struggle?

[Zak-glig]

This is the tone and urgency that is needed. Well done. We're sick of the hypocrisy and blatant double standards.

[zeiadayman]

He cant answer man he got natenyahu D in his mouth right now

[HarperSkylark]

they're so annoying and transparent it would be laughable if they werent causing so much harm and discord with their willful ignorance and incompetence. theyre time is coming sooner than they care to admit.

[Ihsan.shorts]

Unbelievable how afraid and cowardly he looked as he tried his best not to say something that would offend Israel and it's backers

[frankf]

Well Done for showing up the racist double standards perpritated by the the Americans.
