Top US spokesman who defended Israel now says it 'without doubt' committed war crimes
A prominent Biden administration spokesperson who defended Israel from allegations of war crimes now says Israel has "without a doubt" committed war crimes in Gaza. Matthew Miller, who was the State Department's top spokesperson until early this year, sparred with journalists who raised the allegations or questioned American foreign policy in the Middle East. He has now appeared on a Sky News UK podcast, conceding he believes Israel was responsible for war crimes while he was working in the administration. Asked if Israel was committing genocide, Mr Miller said: "I don't think it's a genocide, but I think it is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes." When interviewer Mark Stone said to him: "You wouldn't have said that from the [State Department press briefing] podium," Mr Miller said: "Yeah, look, because when you're at the podium, you're not expressing your personal opinion. You're expressing the conclusions of the United States government." Mr Miller was the public face of the State Department during the last two years of Joe Biden's presidency, holding regular press conferences in Washington. At times, pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside his home. Like Mr Biden, he publicly criticised moves to hold Israel accountable for alleged war crimes, such as an International Criminal Court (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders last November. Those warrants, which remain in force, accuse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant of crimes against humanity and using starvation as a method of warfare. The Trump administration has since imposed sanctions on ICC prosecutors and accused the court of "illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel". The International Court of Justice is separately hearing a genocide case against Israel, which has been brought by South Africa. Israel and its leaders deny all allegations and argue the country is acting in legitimate self-defence after Hamas's October 7 terrorist attack, and that its military takes steps to avoid harming civilians, which Hamas uses as "human shields" and steals aid from. Mr Miller said it was an "open question" whether the Israeli government had pursued a policy to commit war crimes or recklessly abetted them. But it was "almost certainly not an open question" that Israeli soldiers had carried them out, he said. "And the way you judge a democracy is whether they hold those people accountable," he said. "We have not yet seen them hold sufficient numbers of the military accountable." Mr Miller said the thing "that I will always ask questions of myself about" is whether there was more the White House could have done to pressure Israel to agree to a ceasefire sooner. "I think at times there probably was," he said. The Biden administration proposed a ceasefire deal last May, which was implemented in January, but broken when Israel resumed air strikes in Gaza in March. "Now, it's difficult — Israel was not the only … party to this negotiation. You saw Hamas repeatedly move the goalposts," he said. "But you saw Netanyahu move the goalposts as well, and I do think there were times when we should have been tougher on him."

Jamie Foxx publicly roasts ‘nasty' former friend Diddy
Jamie Foxx roasted 'nasty' Sean 'Diddy' Combs over the vulgar testimonies that have been given in the disgraced rapper's sex-trafficking trial. 'That Diddy sh*t crazy, huh?' he said while performing on stage at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, California, last Thursday, per a video obtained by Urban Hollywood. 'I don't know if he's going to jail but he's a nasty motherf**ker! Am I right? Especially for our community — white people, it's cool, but Black people, like, that was our hero. All that goddman baby oil, boy.' Foxx, 57, then brought up Combs' ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura's testimony about how the disgraced rapper allegedly made a male escort urinate in her mouth. 'And then the urine,' he added, before his 31-year-old daughter, Corinne Foxx — who was moderating the Netflix event — interrupted him. 'Oh, that's right. Just let it be. My bad, I'm sorry,' the comedian said. However, Jamie didn't let it go and continued questioning the alleged sexual acts Combs, 55, was involved in. 'Why you so nasty, Diddy? Old nasty motherf**ker,' he continued. ''Take that, Take that.' That makes you listen to that differently now. What are we taking? 'Cause I don't want any of that,' the Grammy winner continued on, referring to the phrase the Bad Boy Records founder famously uttered. 'For the Black people in here, you know how that hurts us. 'Cause Diddy was, 'It's all about the Benjamins.' That was our whole culture. Now, 'It's all about the baby oil.'' Page Six has reached out to Combs' rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. The dad of seven is currently on trial facing three charges: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied all culpability. Last month, Jamie finally set the record straight about rumours that the rapper tried to kill him when the singer had his medical emergency in 2023. ' … I snuck in my phone because I didn't know what the outside world was saying and I couldn't get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke. I'm in f**kng perfect shape,' the Ray actor recalled during a Hollywood Reporter roundtable of his time being hospitalised. '[I see things like,] 'Puffy tried to kill me.' No, Puffy didn't try to kill me,' he stated. Jamie revealed in December 2024 that his medical emergency was due to a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss fatally shot outside his Texas home
Jonathan Joss, a voice actor best known for his work on the animated series King of Hill, has been fatally shot near his Texas home, authorities say. Officers arrived at the actor's home in San Antonio Texas on Sunday evening and found him wounded near the street. 'The officers attempted life saving measures until EMS [Emergency Medical Services] arrived," San Antonio police said in a statement. "EMS pronounced the victim deceased." The 59-year old's death was confirmed by his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales, who gave an account of the shooting on social media, alleging the couple had faced homophobic abuse. He said he and Joss were checking mail at Joss's home, which had been heavily damaged during a January fire that claimed the lives of their three dogs, when they found the skull of one of the dogs and became upset. He said a man approached them and "started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us". "He then raised a gun from his lap and fired," Mr Gonzales wrote. Police said their investigation was ongoing and did not immediately provide any information on what prompted the shooting. "Jonathan and I had no weapons," Mr Gonzales wrote. "We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. "When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. "He saved my life." Authorities arrested 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja and charged him with murder. Joss, who grew up in San Antonio, was best known as the voice of John Redcorn, a Native American character on the popular King of the Hill animated series that ran for 13 seasons from 1997 to 2008. A reboot of the show is set to start in August. Joss also had a recurring role on the television show "Parks and Recreation," playing Chief Ken Hotate. He appeared in two episodes of the series "Tulsa King" in 2022. A GoFundMe page was set up in January for Joss after the house fire. According to the page, Joss had lost all of his belongings in the fire, including his vehicle. Before he was fatally shot, Joss had been in Austin, located about 130 kilometres north-east of San Antonio, for events related to a sneak peak of the King of the Hill revival. On Saturday, Joss had posted a video on Instagram in which he said he was signing autographs at a comic book store in Austin. ABC/Wires
