Hunter Biden Accuses Netanyahu of Genocide, Cites 'Explosive Report' on Oct. 7
Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, has sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government, stating that the events in Gaza "resemble genocide." Biden made these remarks in a recent interview with Britain's LBC network, "Tonight with Andrew Marr." When asked about his stance on Israel amidst the Gaza war and developments in the West Bank, Biden declared, "I am an sworn enemy of Bibi Netanyahu and the Likud government, and what they have done in Gaza, what they continue to do in the West Bank, and what they are doing now in Lebanon."
He elaborated on his "genocide" accusation, calling it a "very loaded word" but one he believes accurately describes Netanyahu's intentions. Biden further asserted that Netanyahu's policies have endangered Jews globally, stating, "I think he, more than anyone else, has made Jews around the world less safe than they have ever been since World War II, since the Holocaust." He expressed a strong belief in this assessment.
Biden also referenced a recent "explosive report," likely referring to Israeli media coverage of a book by Shlomi Eldar and Ruti Yuval, which alleged that Netanyahu was aware of an impending attack before October 7 and failed to prevent it. Biden claimed that those who reviewed the October 7 events concluded that "they knew what was coming" and even allowed the attack to occur to enable subsequent actions that would otherwise not have been approved. However, the interview did not present new evidence for this claim, and LBC presented it as Biden's assertion, not a factual finding. Biden did condemn the October 7 attack as "horrific" and Hamas as "horrific."
During the interview, Biden also criticized the war in Iran and suggested that Donald Trump should face impeachment if Democrats gain control of the House of Representatives, citing actions like initiating a war with Iran without congressional approval. He also linked the current conflict to rising energy prices, calling it a war "nobody wanted."
Biden expressed significant concern about Donald Trump potentially refusing to leave the White House if he wins the presidency, warning that Trump poses an "existential threat" not only to the U.S. but also to NATO and the world. He described the situation as potentially the greatest crisis for the world since World War II. Biden also stated he is not currently seeking political office, preferring to use his public platform to help those struggling with addiction, sharing his own seven-year sobriety journey.
