Netanyahu's past claims about Iraq developing nuclear weapons and his push for regime change in Iran raise concerns about trust. I'm unsure how to respond to these questions, but they are certainly important to consider.

@AssalRad - Assal Rad

Reporter: Netanyahu told Congress in 2002 Iraq was developing nuclear weapons—this was a lie—and wanted regime change in Iran. How can we trust someone who goaded us into war based on lies & how can we be confident he won’t do the same with Iran? Patel: I’m not sure I understand https://t.co/x8HZ1cc1ah

Video Transcript AI Summary
In 2002, before the Iraq invasion, Netanyahu testified to US Congress, stating Saddam Hussein was developing nuclear weapons and hiding facilities underground. This was allegedly false and led to war. Netanyahu also stated he wanted regime change in Iran and questioned how to achieve it. Speaker 0 asks: How can we trust someone who goaded the US into war in Iraq based on falsehoods? Given recent events, why are we confident Netanyahu won't do the same with Iran, given his 20-year call for regime change? Speaker 1 says the President and Secretary have close working relationships with Netanyahu. The US commitment to Israel's security transcends any government. The US condemns Iran's attacks. Speaker 0 notes Netanyahu heads the Israeli government and there's a difference between condemning actions and the US getting into a war with Iran. Speaker 1 says the US is not interested in an all-out conflict with Iran, but is committed to Israel's security.

Speaker 0: Netanyahu testified to the US Congress in 02/2002. This is before we invaded Iraq. And he said, quote, there is no question whatsoever that Saddam Hussein is seeking and is working and is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons. He then went on to say he was hiding nuclear facilities underground. We now know this was a lie, one that many US service members and innocent Iraqis paid the price for. Netanyahu in that same congressional hearing goes on to say, obviously, we'd like to see regime change, at least I would, in Iran. The question now is what is the best way to proceed? It's not a question of whether you'd like to see regime change in Iran, but how to achieve it. So my two questions for you are one, how can we trust somebody who goaded our country into war in Iraq based on falsehoods? And two, given this weekend's events, why are we confident he won't do the same thing with Iran given he's been calling for us to enact regime change in that country for twenty years? Speaker 1: I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but so let me just say a couple things. First, as it relates to Prime Minister Netanyahu, this is somebody who the president has a close working relationship with. It's something that someone that the secretary has a close working relationship with, but broadly beyond any immediate official or individual in the Israeli government, our partnership, our relationship with Israel, our commitment to its self defense and our commitment to its security transcends any government in Israel. It transcends any government in The United States and it's a relationship that has pursued and persisted over the course of the various political parties and presidents. Number two, as it relates to the Iranian regime, let me just be clear and unequivocal about this. We condemn in the strongest terms its reckless and irresponsible attacks from over the course of this past weekend. Speaker 0: Okay. But you one one individual, Netanyahu is the head of the entire Israeli government and when, you know, you might condemn those, but there's a difference between condemning those actions and The US getting roped into a war with Iran. Speaker 1: The United States is not interested in entering an all out conflict with Iran. We've been incredibly clear about that. Speaker 0: Even if they strike Israel? Speaker 1: We have been very clear about our commitment to Israel's security and its self Speaker 0: def

Speaker 0: Most people died. I mean, some days the most you could do is just hold people's hand and look them in the eyes. You watch them die either because they were malnourished, they were starving, or we had no blood to give them every day it felt like that every day in the north felt like that. And, you, the directors there only got a chance to breathe once a shipment of fuel and medicine and food came in and that was always, that was always a hail Mary that was always, always felt like it was last minute. And now that it's now that it's really cut off and they're not getting supplies in, they're not getting fuel and they're not getting medicines and they're not getting food in, now they're really desperate because before before people would arrive last minute, they would arrive before, before the point of no return. And, now that seems to be happening. Speaker 1: And can you talk specifically about the children in these hospitals? The number of children who are died, who are maimed, who've had amputations, well over a 1000 now are alive but amputated, the situation there and this latest situation where one of the hospitals was the site of what was supposed to be a vaccination program today. Speaker 0: Yeah. That's I mean, you leave all of them behind. That's the hard part. You you hate to see anyone suffer or die, but the, when when you're just seeing innocent kids, it's, it's not just the physical wounds too. I remember one little girl, she was caught in an airstrike and she was buried alive for 12 hours next to her dead parents, and then she got dug out and we had to, perform emergency surgery on her leg. There's another little girl, 5 years old. She came in with both legs just just mangled that after an explosion and their mom was begging us not to amputate her legs. And, we both knew that we both knew her legs weren't going to make it, but, I mean, those are the conversations we have to have. And I remember another 7 year old girl came in with her arm just missing. Her arm was just, it was blown off. And, the surgeon across from me just, a very stoic unemotional, strong, resilient surgeon, just broke down in tears. It's just he had had it after, after 6 months. Just couldn't take it anymore. So that toll, that toll is very exacting. I mean, the physical wounds you can get to heal, you can get an amputation wound to heal, but it's the psychic scars of, of, of seeing your, your parents buried alive, or you're buried alive and they're dead. And you're looking at them, everyone in Gaza, every bed you go to has a horrifying story of, of loss of losing a home, losing a loved one, losing a limb, losing an eye, and it never ends. And it just every day you wake up to more and more of it. And that's, that's just what makes it so horrifying.

The discussion revolves around whether there were victims of Assange's actions, with the State Department being a key focus. The State Department took measures to protect individuals whose identities were exposed, impacting trust in the US government. However, tangible negative effects are difficult to pinpoint. Concerns were raised by foreign counterparts about sharing information due to leaks. Private conversations made public by WikiLeaks caused diplomatic challenges. The conversation ends with a decision not to disclose further details.

Speaker 0: And in the judgment, the sentencing part of the judgment, the the judge noted that there were no victims of mister Assange's, behavior, which is part of the reason that the sentence was what it was. Do you disagree with that? Do you think there were victims of his actions? Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do, speak to a, comment made by a judge in a ruling. That'd be never be appropriate for me to do so, but I stand by the comments I made just Speaker 0: a moment ago. Speaker 1: What? You're Speaker 2: not gonna speak to a comment made by a judge. I mean, if he if he did, I didn't I don't know that he did, but that's exactly the point of my question. Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm but I'm not I'm Speaker 2: I'm Which is that that the State Department has never come up, even though it was 1 of the prime, quote unquote, victims of of of these leaks, was never able to identify anyone who came under was killed or came under came under Speaker 1: I think the point I made a moment ago is an appropriate response to that, which is just because the State Department was able to take actions to keep people out of harm's way. Speaker 2: People that keep put in harm's Speaker 1: way doesn't resolve responsibility. Speaker 2: What actions did the state Speaker 1: They were able the State Department at the time was able to reach out to individuals whose names were going to be I can't tell you that. It's almost 15 years ago, Matt. I wasn't here. Well, I know. But I but I know. Speaker 2: But I can't just come to a close. Speaker 1: But I Speaker 0: You know? Or someone Speaker 2: would know. Speaker 1: Cannot give you a full count of something that happened almost 15 years ago, but people that were here will tell you that the state department went to great lengths to reach out to people whose identities were exposed, and get them out of harm's way. And the other point I made is that it does when something like that hap happens, it does chill the ability of American personnel to build relationships with people and count on Speaker 2: No doubt. Speaker 1: Count on the fact that the information they provide us will be held No doubt. Confidential. So it is not just a harm to a potential harm to the safety and security of those individuals. It's a harm to, American diplomacy. Speaker 2: No doubt. But but the fact of the matter is that you have not been ever been able to identify anything tangible about, any tangible negative effect. Speaker 1: That is a different. So I think I just did point to a tangible negative effect when it had, when people are less willing to trust the United States government Speaker 2: to get information, secret. Who who was willing to? Speaker 1: It was a so I was in go I was in government at the time, and I can tell you traveling the world, with a different Okay. A different a different agency. We often heard from foreign counterparts that they were I'm obviously not gonna speak to I'm not gonna speak to the exact conversations, but we often heard from foreign parts that they were worried about providing information to the United States government because of our ability to keep it Speaker 2: Well, III remember 1 having been here a good time, and I remember that Berlusconi told former Secretary Clinton that he was concerned mainly because of what the WikiLeaks, what the cables suggested about his, activities.

I'm I'm I'm not a person Speaker 1: So but country. I think you could see why.

Speaker 0: This is not about, you know, trying to get into some remote region of the world with a natural disaster. This is a place that is very easily accessible. And you talked about, you know, the current situation. You haven't been able to get to sufficiently. That means you haven't been able to to persuade the Israelis to let enough aid in over land and to secure its distribution. So why is that still a problem? Speaker 1: So I will say that first of all, we have seen some modest improvements in the humanitarian situation and the distribution of aid, over the past few days. We've seen trucks able to move around the southern part of Gaza with more freedom than they were able to do, say, a week or 10 days ago. We've seen additional trucks move to the north of Gaza from the south. We saw for the first time flour released from Ashdod and make its way into Gaza, something we have been, supporting for some time. And we saw the government of Israel agree to open additional crossings. So yes, they need to do more. We've seen an improvement, but we think they need to continue to do more. And so that's what we're gonna continue to push. Speaker 0: But this I mean, it does just come back to this fundamental point about leverage. And when you're providing the amount of military aid that you're providing, in fact, there's the 1961 Foreign Assistance Act says that humanitarian aid should not be blocked by countries that are recipients of military aid from the United States. And it will seem extraordinary still that leverage cannot be brought to bear when the UN is now saying malnutrition is so severe, they're quoting that 25 people have died now. Speaker 1: Well, first of all, it is the intervention of the United States that has led humanitarian assistance to go into Gaza in the first place. Secretary Blinken has, engaged on this consistently in his meetings, in his phone calls with leaders of the government of Israel. The president of the United States has been involved in this. The president of the United States traveled to Israel and submitted a deal that, secretary Blinken initially reached to allow Rafa to open in the first place, and it was our intervention that allowed, that got Karim Shalom to open. And it is our intervention that has led to, the government of Israel agree to agree to open additional crossings into Gaza. So it is the work of the United States that has led to an improvement in the humanitarian assistance situation. Now that improvement hasn't been enough, and that's why we continue to engage consistently at the highest levels of the government of Israel. And that's why the president continues to speak out on this.

Speaker 0: Like, trying to understand when president Biden, said that enter Rafa as a red line, and at the same time, he will say we're gonna keep, sending weapons and support Israel. I mean, just an English wording, how does it work? Red line, don't enter Rafa. But At the same time, we're gonna give you weapons if you enter Rafa or not. Is it right? Speaker 1: So I think the president's remarks were very clear. But, again, as I said, with respect to Rafa, let's just wait and see what the plan that Israel develops, looks like before we pass any judgment, either on whether it's credible, whether it can be implemented, or what the United States will and and will not do. But as the president said in that interview and as you've heard the secretary say and me and others from the administration say a number of times, we support Israel's right to continue to defend itself. And that that's what will, that that will be our policy. Speaker 0: What about did you watch the reports on CNN, inside, Gaza Hospital? Did you see the starvation of children? In some images we used to see in Uganda, some pictures we see in African countries, like, 20 years ago. Now we're seeing it in 2024. Kids are starving to death. Speaker 1: So I didn't see that specific report, but obviously we've seen multiple reports of, incredibly dire humanitarian conditions on the ground in Gaza. And that's why we not only have been pushing the government of Israel to do more. And as I said, we've seen some modest improvements, but not enough. But it's why the United States, has air dropped its own humanitarian assistance in and is working on a maritime option to get assistance in. Speaker 0: That's a question. Just a question.

Speaker 1: So every country has to make its own determination, but again, we've laid out a very clear standard that we're gonna apply, which is we are going to await the outcome of the investigations that the United Nations is conducting. I think it's important to to remember, Syed, it's not it's not Israel that's conducting this investigation. It's not another body. It's the United Nations itself, which, of course, administers all of this aid that is conducting the investigation. Despite the number of times you have asked me this, we are gonna wait until the outcome of that investigation before we make any determinations, which I think is is, obviously the appropriate step to take. Speaker 0: I full I fully understand, but, you know, it's the same set of evidence and the same set of investigators and the same set of investigation that, you know, other countries are privy to like you are. Speaker 1: It's You know? I don't I don't believe anyone is privy to the outcome of this investigation because it's not been completed, let alone briefed to us yet or to any other country. Speaker 0: I guess you're saying that they're not different sets of investigations. It's the same investigation. Speaker 1: Correct. And every country will have to make its own determination. Speaker 0: And 1 last thing, have you, are you aware that, Anurag reports, says that Israel, of course, some agency employees the falsely admit Hamas links. Were you aware? Speaker 1: I have seen those reports. I don't have any I don't have any independent ability to assess them.

@SMArikat You can see Miller getting frustrated. Watch his exchange with Matt Lee about whether the U.S. will actually pass judgment when Israel presents its plan to invade Rafah (contingent on protecting civilians). Miller: Ultimately we will have a view Lee: Is that after they finish? https://t.co/2vGe40o0AW

Video Transcript AI Summary
I will wait to see the plan before passing judgment on its credibility and implementation. Once the Israelis release the plan, we will provide the US perspective. I expect to have a view on the plan after being briefed on it. Whether I like it or not, I will share my thoughts and answer questions about it. Thank you, everyone, for your patience.

You said let's wait until we see the plan before we pass judgment on whether it is credible or implementable, correct? Speaker 1: Correct.

Speaker 0: But Hamas is not your ally. He's not your partner. You're designated as a terrorist organization. I'm asking on the other side, which is you share the same value with them, which is Israel. So my question to you is not about Hamas and how the war was started because we passed the stage not to take away from what happened on October 7th. But my point to you is what the this administration do to press to use the leverage that Israel that you have over Israel to make sure that no more civilians are dead. Speaker 1: Nadia, my point is you can't answer the question about Israel's conduct without giving an accurate assessment of the situation that they are in of trying to, conduct legitimate military and counterterrorism operations against an enemy that has sworn the destruction of Israel, sworn sworn you know, sworn that they would destroy Israel and kill Israeli civilians, and hides behind civilians. So this isn't a situation, a traditional battle situation where Hamas troops are out in a field or deployed in a military garrison sometime, and you conduct a you can conduct a military operation where you have a simple target and you know there's gonna be no civilian, harm. That's just not the situation that we that Israel faces in Gaza because of the way Hamas has has, decided to, quite cowardly hide behind civilians. So we will continue to press Israel to do everything it can to minimize civilian casualties. And everything I have said about the situation that they face doesn't in a bit minimize their responsibility to do so. And that's why we'll continue to 2 you guys are Hold on. I'm I'm gonna move on only because we've been hold on. We've been here an hour already, and I've got other people I have to get to before before we break.

Speaker 0: A Speaker 1: UK based research group concluded Israeli tank likely killed 6 year old Palestinian child, Henr Rajab. Investigation revealed that Rajab's car was hit with 355 bullets, and it's not plausible that Israel Israeli tank couldn't see, children inside the car. Have you seen the reports? And do you have any updates on the investigation? It's been more than 4 months, and a lot of my colleagues have been asking about it. Speaker 0: Yeah. So we have seen the reports, and I will tell you what our latest interaction with the government of Israel is about this. So we went to the government of Israel, and pressed them for information. And they told us that there were no IDF tanks operating in the area, no IDF forces operating in the area at the time of that attack, which I believe is something they've also said publicly. After further reporting, we went back to them and pressed them again. And so, what they told us is that they went to the UN organizations. They went to the Palestinian Red Crescent. They asked for information, because you've seen all those organizations quoted in stores. They asked for information that could use that they could use, to further an investigation, and no one provided them with any information. That's the latest that we have on the Speaker 1: So who shot the 355 tank bullets? Speaker 0: I'm not able to look. I'm not on the ground. I can't offer any kind of assessment about this. It's why we called for an an independent we called for the government of Israel to conduct an investigation. I can't speak to what their internal processes look like. Speaker 1: All I Speaker 0: can tell you is what they all I can tell you is what they've told us and what they've said is they went to the UN and the Palestinian Red Crescent and asked them to supply information that would help them, and what they claim is that they were were given them. Speaker 1: But it's not included yet the investigation, or is it Yeah. Speaker 0: I would refer you to the government of Israel for that. I can I can only tell you what we what they have told us?

Today, I watched Biden officials assure the press that weapons are still flowing to Israel. Then I saw reports of Palestinians in Gaza hearing the cries of people under rubble with no way to help and I saw a child with a hole where their head should be, just more endless horror.
