US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller faced tough questions from journalists on the US response to the Gaza conflict, particularly regarding the death of six Israeli hostages. When Miller avoided hypothetical scenarios, journalists pressed him on the reality of the situation, asking why the US hasn't halted arms sales to Israel amid the ongoing violence.
