- “Other countries may help.”
During a US State Department briefing on Monday, spokesperson Matthew Miller sidestepped a direct comparison between reconstruction efforts in war-torn Ukraine and Gaza.
When pressed on whether Israel should shoulder some of the financial burden for rebuilding Gaza, as western countries have called for Russia to pay for rebuilding Ukraine, the official hinted that other countries would pay for reconstruction efforts in return for Israel agreeing to a two-state solution.

The smirking as he’s lying. That day when we are all questioned on this is going to be horrific.
yes i agree just ask the population of Dresden Germany in 1945 , they would warn us if they could ! that is our history USA .
@@vivavasquez I'm not so convinced by comparisons to Dresden. Neither the Ukraine proxy war nor the destruction of the G @ z-a strip are examples of targeting a militarily strategic railroad junction city that contained industrial factories supplying the war effort. That's not to say that the extreme b0mbing of Dresden was necessarily justifiable morally, ethically, and/or legally, but I don't think it's a comparable situation.
@theaconite1400 the comparison of people in Germany looking the other way or supporting the indefensible is very much like the people of Isteal today, blocking the aid trucks in order to murder millions by starvation.
You little grapes have no idea.
When questioned on the Iraq war, they say "mistakes were made", as if it's they were baking a cake and added salt instead of sugar... This'll be no different.
Israel should pay 100%.
Of course, but with the american tax payer's money.
how about this? 🖕🏻
US officials weakness is becoming hilarious
Do they know the World is making fun of what they have become?
Do you think they care lol ?
oh they know, they are just relying on most Americans not actually finding out
@@user-hy5vj3rg9e good question. Well, I think what Americans fear the most is to be perceived as weak.
@@randomname3109yea and it's starting to sting them through their denial. The higher ups feel the shift in the paradigm, the loss of their grasp on the controls
They must be feeling it
Its called gaslighting😡
It is the specialty of our "friend in the Middle East "
good
Kudos Mr Lee for asking the right question
Awesome journalist
Journalism! Right here in America? I'm so happy, I can't believe it!
I became an absolute fan of Matt Lee. Brilliant in brilliant questions, alway!
He’s one of the few ones that have always pressed the White House. He’s a great reporter, been hammering them on their bull crap
This Matt Lee is a real journalist....question after question, he faces each official with his own words and none has an answer!!! Brilliant job.
Matt Lee is the excellent journalist -- Matt Miller is the spokesperson trying to bedazzle the abhorrent US stance!
@@FulminantLogicianbeat me to it
@@FulminantLogician Thank you for the correction
When he doesn't know what to say,"we won't get into hypotheticals".. that means his clueless..
Totally agree! Brilliant, Matt Lee
Love this reporter
Another rat 🐀 trapped in the box 📦 here 😂
Nuremberg tribunal for Matt Miller , John Kirby , Joe Biden , and Tony Blinken !
Kamala as well, Mast, Ted Cruz, Ned Price, That duche with Glasses
Don’t forget to include Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan and William Burns.

You only get those trials if you lose.
Add the heads of state for every country that defunded UNRWA.
Action on an accusation without independent investigation, after the IJC’s statements on the need for more aid - this is surely complicit with genocide.
Imagine this spokesman gets tired of lying, gives up and says ''Okay! Enough! We are owned by Israel! We will never blame them! Got it?''
😂😅 It's hard to laugh but you're right, they think we are clueless at this point.
This journalist exposes Blinken every time for who he truly is..
Israel should pay for all damage they have done, compensate every Palestinian for the trauma caused, and meet all current and future medical fees for those they have left permanently disabled.
AND refund our USA tax dollars 💸 that was a waste and we want it back unless they can show us one thing we got out of it.
Which means the American people will pay for it because Israel’s wealth comes from us
Absolutely correct
I propose as a minimum Israel contributes $1 million for every life lost and $100,000 for every injured person.
That would come to at current tally $28 Billion for the deaths & & $7 Billion for the injured.
That would go some way in people rebuilding their lives.
If Germany is still paying compensation today for the Holocaust of Jews, why can’t the Zionists pay for the Gaza Holocaust??
@@user-np2yj4pr8hthey will say "you have an ally in middle east" while they are the sole reason why you have enemies in the Middle East.
and end the illegal occupation and blockade.
OH HOW THEIR HYPOCRITICAL VEILS ARE BEING REMOVED ONE BY ONE ..........
SUBHAN ALLAH
We muslims were fooled but it's too clear to ignore now...
lol 😂 you were fooled before? Shame on you and all the Muslim’s fooled by the west
When I see this man, I don’t see a man with soul. This applies to any US Department of State spokesman
Germany is still paying for its second war atrocities, and I see no reason why Israel should not have to do the same for its atrocities in Palestine.
I wonder if USA paying for Japan for WW2 damages.
@@syahmiyusop I’m pretty sure they did more or less. By occupying Japan and basically Japan having no military they focused on their own economy. And because Japan was used as an American Control Point, they got a lot advantages in trade deals in the region.
Israel like Japan has disqualified itself from having a military for half a century until they can show willingness to comply with international humanitarian law.
To add insult to injury he used the word game , does it look like a game ? Ppl are dying in the hundreds every day , what a shifty man.
DRACULA
Dracula hasn't as much blood on his hands.
🤣
Hypocrisy best displayed by people who are supposed to represent the interests of their countries.
People who have been bought by a foreign lobby.
Every US politician who received money from AIPAC is compromised and cannot be trust to make decisions in the best interests of US citizens.
"Re-construct is the right word".
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
That's what I call journalism. And that's also what is called "Freudian slip".
Like when Genocide Joe just referred to this gen o cide as "OUR military operation"
@@user-np2yj4pr8h
Exactly.
Their Freudian slips by now are beyond counting.
@@user-np2yj4pr8hwell, he's never been more right: we've been in this genocide since day one, with e tra money, arms, ammo, intelligence, troops disguised as intelligence, warships, you name it. We are even going open-eyed into a suicidal war on behalf of Israel. Funny how things work: we sacrifice Ukraine in our quest to win over Russia, and Israel sacrifices us in its quest to win over Iran... History has a wicked sense of humor...
How about the US stops contributing weapons for the destruction of Gasa?
Here in the US we have a homeless problem and instead of tackling that we’re sending Billions to Isreal to make foreigners homeless.
Matt Lee is a legend.
Not only Israel but whole world together can not even pay for one tear of a mother, father, child, brother, sister, husband, wife, grandmother, grandfather (list goes on and on)… who lost their loved once in the barbar war of Israël. Money is not everything … there is not even a way to just describe their pain in words …
liar.lies.liar.lies
Mr Lee is absolutely rinsing these people simply by asking fair and basic questions questions
i like how they often use words like "put more money into the game" where most of the world is too terrified or disgusted to describe any of this as a "game"
this is what your leaders think lives are, a game.
Matthew Miller must be the worst human in the state department and that's a high bar. He smiles and smirks while talking about Palestinians being bombed and US complicity.
This guy Boils my blood. Man I hate him and this government. Bunch of f up politicians
Huge, huge admiration for this journalist! Matt Lee masters the art of formulating questions so that they become a trap for those who try to run away with vague answers.
Thank you for great work, Matt Lee!
Rules for them not for us
He didnt answer the question. What a ghoul
When you talk about a sphincter with a haircut you know who it is.
Hypocrites are easy to spot. The odor of their falsehoods may be well-disguised, but the stench of their hypocrisy is not easily concealed. Their words may be smooth as silk, but their actions betray their true intentions. The illusion of their sincerity is but a mirage.
Even an insane would realise that he is lying. He does that all the time.
I wonder who will be held financially responsible for those big underwater gas lines? I seem to recall Crimean bridge damage among other things too.
"I hate imperialism. I detest colonialism. And I fear the consequences of their last bitter struggle for life. We are determined, that our nation, and the world as a whole, shall not be the play thing of one small corner of the world"

O my God shame on you
I love it when journalists grill Nosferatu.
The US role in Gaza and the backing of Israel will go down in the history.
These horrors of human beings. How are they controlling our world?
then Russia is not gonna pay for the damage, how hypocrites can they be.
Does anybody need anymore evidence for the clear bias
But not Israel
i just can’t listen to that snake anymore…
Complicit as F.
Disgusting , disgusting, disgusting hypocrisy. This guy is standing at the door of hell and I hope for his sake, he sees and feels it
Matt Lee ✌️🕊️🇵🇸
The contracts have already been negotiated, offered, agreed and signed for months ago. This is what this is all about. Israel is the population dispacement and demolition contractor....
It is outrageous that USA and Israel do not have to pay for reconstruction.
I don't even know why anyone would even questions like that to the wolf wearing the sheeps cloth
Watching him addressing media seem to me like watching a comic flick...his expressions and appearance is so funny looks like a comedian🤣🤣🤣🤣
US double standards are so embarrassing😔
How can this guy look himself in the mirror in the morning or at night?
Easy. When he looks in the mirror there's no reflection.
A deer in the headlights. It’s like these people are the palace guards having to deal with the public.
There are levels of hypocrisy, and this is way off scale 😂. These people are so arrogant and delusional that they think no one has any sense to see through this hypocrisy
No, the two state solution is not "something in return". THAT'S ALREADY SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW
You destroy it you rebuild it.
Certified Waffler
When I hear this demon talk it raises my blood pressure every time.
I could never grow tired of shaking Matt Lee's hand if I ever met the man in person. The guy is as real a journalist as we will ever get.
Hypocritical BS.
I feel this is an act between miller and that guy he asked the question and the other guy damage control as if he gives the solutions from the US perspective. I feel this is theatre.
He says putting money into the game
BLINK... BLINK....
SO WHY DIDNT U DO A 2 STATE SOLUTION ALL THESE YEARS WHEN ALL NATIONS DEMANDED THEY B GIVEN THEIR RIGHT? SO THIS SITUATION WOULD NOT ARISE!
BLINK...BLINK
Palestinians are not blond with blue eyes enough, right?
Palestinians haven't got the money to buy off the right politicians.
Some of them are!
@@user-np2yj4pr8h Yeah but they're muslims, thats the whole point...
@@UzumakiNagato they're assumed to be Muslim, but Arabs in general are varying in religious belief, Palestinians notwithstanding. One of the most famous Palestinians, Edward Said, was in fact raised a Christian.
@@hanikanaan4121 Yeah thats why they identify themselves as "Palestinian Christians"
He's like Data from Star Trek. Only Data was more human than him
This is how they have gotten that stereotype
Two faced US.

You know who benefits from war, especially ones launched or supported by America? American contractors.
Don’t trust Bela Lugosi’s Dracula.
“Put real money into the game as well as, you know, real political credibility.”🧐 No, we do not know. This is definitely not a game, it’s an oppression.
Kudos to the journalist who pressed him for a straight answer.
When i see them i really feel
Alhumdulillah
I born as a muslim
Alhumdulillah ☝
They have a different goal post for every situation. Calling this double-standard is an insult to the word "standard".
rat
How do these people in US government deal with the constant cognitive dissonance?
They are cynical and if here they apply the law for everyone differently, than can be expected for others countries. God how much injustice and hypocrisy is this government.
Hypocrisy to the MAX
Skunk spray is wasted on this snake
By this logic we would still have WW2 going on if Hitler said "Let us investigate". 🤔
Thats brilliant 👏
I read today that Netanyahu has told the USA that they have to pay for the rebuilding of Gaza.
remember: During a news conference on Monday, the US State Department declared that the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine had been a "strategic failure" for the latter, causing many to speculate as to whether the statement was a mistake or just the reality. Matthew Miller, the spokesperson, made the error, and the reporters in the briefing room promptly called him out on it.
How embarrassing.
Playing on prefixes: Reconstrut, rebuild, recontribute... The sad part of all this is that these people believe that the listeners or their own people are naive.
Matt Miller defines dissimulation.
NEWSFLASH! Oct 7th was an INSIDE JOB. DOH ......
the face of shame
Alan Dershowitz during the Piers Morgan interview mentioned that he hopes that Gaza will be rebuild better than it was by the people of United States and Europe.
Omg listings to that snake makes me wanna puke 🤮
It's fucking laughable that other countries have to do that.
Why doesn't INTERNATIONAL COURT(ICJ) pronounce about it???
On their eyes, it's committing crimes.
he called it a game people
Unbelievable!!@
Think they're stupid it's like a satire journalists spend their lives listening to Liars and they sit there and also wait for the lie to become true
What a crappy job, rationalizing genocide.
Pathetic response.
Dracula role in the next Hollywood movie is just perfect for
the requirements for being a spokesperson for the U.S is the ability to have a straight face while telling lies with confidence.
Hypothical vs hypocrisy
thats what ive been saying, show those number crunchers the expense due
That is a old school of jornalism. No bulshitee, but true and realistic. 👍 👌
