US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan says the Biden administration does not view the killings of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel as a genocide.
“We do not believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. We have been firmly on record rejecting that proposition,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan, speaking to reporters at the White House, said the US wants to see Hamas defeated, Palestinians caught in the middle of the war are in “hell” and a major military operation by Israel in Rafah would be a mistake.
Jake Sullivan was questioned by Al Jazeera’s White House Correspondent, Kimberly Halkett.

Apacc not sure yet hold on lol the omg bring bush back this is nutty asf
It’s hard to lie when the world can see the lies with their own eyes. It’s incredible that they would think that the world is made up with a bunch of idiots.
Its genocide
35,000 سے زائد قتل ہونے کے باوجود امریکہ کہہ رہا ہے کہ یہ نسل کشی نہیں ہے افسوس اور بہت ہی افسوس ہے ان لوگوں کو شرم انی چاہیےDespite over 35,000 murders, America is saying it is not genocide. It is sad and very sad. Shame on these people.
Ok then ICC should include Biden administration in the war crimes charge too!
That’s laughable
I want the whole world to stand together against America and start a movement to stop the war and end this brutal killing and genocide.
UN said those numbers of people hamas is saying has been killed is fake,
I can’t believe they can say “they don’t believe genocide has taken place in Gaza” ? I MEAN YOU MUST BE A STONE COLD RACIST to even say such a disgusting thing!!
Shame on the USA. Hitler had enablers and the enabler of Israel is the USA. Free, Free, Free Palestine
Of Course … they are the ones that have been sending the weapons for it. Much more than complicit, of course they are going to deny it till the end. Strange how with very few exceptions there is a conscens in the world that this is exactly what is happening. ( see article 2 on the United Nations convention about genocide )
the US politicians are blinded by Zionist money..
It would be a different story if palestinians were white people. So it Racist genocide Joe.
And Al Jazz doesnt believe Hamas is even in Gaza so whats the difference?
Of course not because US and Israel is to gather forever
A while house us spokesperson Sullivan doesn’t think it a genocide because it both an ally and it is brown people (the Palestinians) being killed. This is white people ‘s opinion of justice.
Stop genocide in GAZA 😢😢😢 Save the humanity 😢😢😢
Are Cristian Zionist leaders are really blind ?
Proud of my country🇺🇸 .
I wonder what did Israel do or did to US to even get this kind of treatment? Or it is just based on hatred towards a race? A nation? Or what did Israel said about Gaza that is provitable for both but sacrificing entire nation? Like really, this ignorance is just… Oh my God
World:- Genocide / Palestinian. UASS:-/ those two words are new for us..
Am not buying US spin doctoring. Their lines may as well be written in Israel and ignored
The USA was founded on the Genocide of the natives on that land , so of course they will deny genocide on their colonial project in the middle east. You cant expect much from a nation that killed close to 5 million civilians across the world in all the conflicts they were in
The Washington administration doesn’t even value the lives of American citizens. Millions of homeless, every month 100 000 die of fentanyl, and the government is not doing anything against it.
The Washington administration murdered millions of innocent civilians worldwide and dehumanized them as “collateral damage”. They were not even humans for these high-finance elites and their henchmen.
Now do you really expect these same Hitlers to care for the lives of refugees in an open-air prison?
Seems like AIPAC put some money in white house mouth
they cannot admit it because they are complicit.
Hamas have now made or accepted 11 ceasefire deals to return Israeli hostages. USA’s lies are as bad as Israel’s.
He means “US killed one million civilians in Iraq, Israel just 35K, so where is genocide”
Stop deleting my comments, you cowards!!!!
Of course, US will say it’s not genocide because it knows it’s the enabler.
USA is the main culprit in this war,,
O governo sanguinário de Netanyahu, promotor de um genocídio irrefutável de palestinos em Gaza, ajudou a confirmar aquilo que o mundo minimamente civilizado já avaliava.
Israel há muito deixou de ser uma democracia e agora, abraçados com os EUA, ambos rumam para a decadência moral e juntos apressam também a falência econômica do ocidente e o fim da primazia e ditadura do dólar.
Game Over.
It’s not just a disconnect between the government and reality – it’s a chasm
China support the Palestinians. China also occupies Tibet. Anyone chanting free Tibet in the streets?
Bs
Who described the definition of Genocide either by US or UN. Could someone explain .
If this is not a genocide then what the Germans did is not a genocide. We said never again which means for anyone anywhere.
Its called a WAR!!! Not genocide. Learn the dictionary.
One can deny anythig but that Doesn’t mean denied fact is nonexisting. US government and officials are the most hypocritic criminals. If not they would have not supplied weapons to the criminals.
Because the US is fully complicit.Let the chilling reality of that fact sink in.
This is severely disgusting!
Hamas doesn’t own a single tank, how do you justify shooting missiles into populated areas?
Send him to Gaza
Whose dictionary are the us administration using? Pitiful, lap dog , embarrassing response.
Actually, since the Americans are complicit in said genocide, he had to lie his way out of responsibility for the said genocide. Weakly try to lie, weakly.
They would say that of course, wouldn’t they. 😂
Of course US would deny it as the US is participating in the genocide.
shame on 56 Muslim countries…
Then what is happening in the gaza… picnic….shame on US
You think the facilitator of genocide would admit they are facilitating it? Just like the report of Israel’s compliance with humanitarian laws with regard to the use of US weapons despite Human Rights organizations, NGOs and even their own intelligence saying that Israel is violating humanitarian laws with regard to said use, the secetary of state can only say it’s “likely” but they don’t have anything conclusive. They would have to stop shipping Israel weapons and this could also be used to help the genocide case in the ICJ and the ICC case against Israel leaders so America has to at all cost ignore that Israel is doing anything bad.
United states of genocide, they lie as much as israelis, they are as guilty as israelis.
White house is complicite in genocide themselves, so how they ca recognize it!
US always a terrorist country and always supporter of Terrorism 👎
Ya Allah save Palestinians from this destruction.
People know the truth but the audacity of them to stand infront of people and support the evil. You have no ounce of humanity left in you.
Ya Allah held everyone of them accountable for what they are doing to the innocent Palestinians and avenge them in this world and hereafter. Ameen.
What do you call it , then .
Usa – We will ask israel to investigate israel for the genocide accusation.
Israel – We have investigate and its not genocide its Hamas.
The hostage are the only assets for Hamas to negotiate , why would they release them ? Just agree on what was put out to the table before to release the hostage .
America the slave of the Jews. That’s what you get when you worship a man who tried to kill Christ rather than the Creator who has sent the messengers. May the wrongdoings be perish to it’s roots.
Shame on the White House! Shame on Biden! Shame on Kamala Harris! Shame on Blinken! and Shame on Austin! All of you have the blood of the Palestinian babies, children and women on your two hands. STOP GENOCIDE IN GAZA—-STOP WAR CRIMES IN PALESTINE
American politicians succumbed the chosen deception, play same tunes as zionist entity.
They will Denies ISHO (Jesus)
American tourists used to be the laughing stock of the world, but now the American politicians are way on top being complete idiots that could not hit water if they fell out a boat.
US has lost its credibility.
USA is retarded.
They need to go to GAZA to see the reality
Biden’s hands are dripping with blood.
He just cancelled a shipment of 1,800 900 kilogram bombs and 1,700 500 kilogram bombs. How many bombs has he given the jews before?
Biden just lost millions of votes. He gave the election to Trump by not having the balls to stand up to Israel.
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas.” — Netanyahu, 2019
Who believes the one committing the genocide? Just like asking Hitler if he has done anything wrong !!!! He would of course say he didn’t.
Won’t acknowledge or confirm there is a genocide being undertaken. Why? Because they to would be guilty of such a crime, due to their support, enabling and defence of Israel..
Se fosse ao contrario seria um genocídio….se fosse o Hamas matando os israelenses ai no instante seria um genocídio para os EUA…..Israel e EUA tem que ir para o inferno o mais rapido possível
US officials lie openly.
Send him to gaza
That is what all accomplices say…..at first!
There’s never been a more clear cut case in history…. Never….
Because it’s not a genocide! 🙄
The white house can sdu all it wants facts speak of itself
its always women questioning these parrots (america is a strange place). what if instead of asking questions a real man rips his index finger off so he can’t do that strange political hand gesture anymore. his thumb would be exposed! haha
What they say doesn’t matter when we can all see it with our own eyes.
White house 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
😢
If you think there is another kind of hidden terrorist who is Al-jazeera. Who wants to publish a terrorist show & then keep them as an independent & right broadcaster 💔
It is Pathetic how the USA always defend Israel. They care more a out Israel than their own USA citizen that die in the thousands, yealy for not being able to afford health care insurance but they send billions to Israel to exterminate the Palestinian People and they have no shame for doing so. I hope one day the USA and Israel will pay for their crimes. I pray for it.
“they” must not “think” and or “believe” that “genocide” is happening “anywhere” and or “everywhere” else in the “world” either… tragically “genocide” is continually happening “world” wide as the “rich” and “powerful” “elite” are always attempting to “kill the poor”.
🙏 Peace and LOVE for ONE and ALL 🕊❤🔥
Like Hitler, Nazis and multidue of murderers in denial!
Turkey also denies the Armenian Genocide. Guess it never happened if the governments that cause it also deny it
Jake the lying joker. You blind? Can’t you see the pictures of death and destruction? Till people like Jake can’t see genocide, it won’t stop.
Gaza is surrounded by IDF …. A large “gas chamber”
Not only that Isriel are commiting the genocide in Gaza. But this is the biggest and most hideous genocide in human history. I’m sick of all jews on the world using money for fake war propaganda to show themselves as victims. Look at the map of Palestine from year 1944 and look at it in year 2024. Isriel that didn’t even have own land they stole it systematically little by little from Palestine. They are a war criminals. They should be punished and their country should be erased, land should be returned to Palestine and their religion should be banned. They are the poison of the world. Evil, manipulating, mental ill and greedy with disturbing thinking of their Jewish religion. It’s time that world realise this and act. Humans lifes are precious. Each and every one. Does not matter what color you are red, green, black. We are one and we are equal!
Yes it is. This is crazy. I dont want to hear people complainig about hitler then
Please invite for once two economists who will explain to us how a Palestinian state would finance itself without any aid from the US an EU? The have zero economic self sufficiency now. How can a state with 6 children per woman and miserable average education form a functioning economy?
So please answer my question. How would a Palestinian state finance itself in a region without natural resources and a desert climate?
don’t trust grown men named “Jake”
I also agree there is no indication of Genocide in Gaza
They also believed that Irak had mass destruction weapons…
The WHITEHOUSE is bullying smaller countries. Genocide is happening now right now. In Gaza, Rafa’s.
of course… criminals won’t admit their crimes
What are they going to say, they are complice
