Miller’s words are unconvincing. His nervousness obvious. WATCH NOW.

English Script:
Ryan Grim: And to follow up on Turkey, I’m sure you’ve seen Turkey has joined South Africa in its charging Israel with genocide before the International Court of Justice. Is there any concern within the State Department that State Department officials could be roped in to this prosecution?
Spox Matt Miller: No, I will say that as it relates to the State Department, we have been committed to addressing the monitoring situation in Gaza and have made a priority of preventing, as I just said in response to your question, the displacement of Palestinians. I will also say, though, that genocide is, of course, a heinous atrocity, one of the most heinous atrocities that any individual can commit. Those are allegations that should not be made lightly and as it pertains to the United States, we are not seeing any acts that constitute genocide.
Ryan Grim: And finally, over the break, top authorities in the Armenian quarter expressed deep concern that the Israeli government was using the conflict in Gaza to push out a lot of Armenian Christians from the Armenian quarter. Any response?
Spox Matt Miller: So no specific response to that. But as we have said on a number of occasions, we do not want to see the government of Israel take any steps that would escalate tensions. Go ahead.
