Hunter Biden Claims Netanyahu Knew Oct. 7 Attack Was Coming and “Did Absolutely Nothing,” Likens Gaza War to Genocide The LBC interview was not the first occasion on which Biden has publicly advanced allegations that Israeli leaders knew more about Hamas’s October 7 plans than they have acknowledged. During a lengthy 2025 interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan, Biden questioned Israel’s preparedness despite reports that Israeli intelligence had obtained information concerning Hamas’s operational plans before the attack. In that interview, Biden also discussed the profound impact of October 7 on ordinary Israelis and their desire to eliminate the Hamas threat. More recently, Biden made even stronger allegations during another podcast appearance. In an interview released this month, he said, “what’s happening in Palestine right now is genocide,” and accused Netanyahu and his Likud-led government of acting in an “evil” manner. He then asserted that Netanyahu knew about the October 7 attacks before they occurred. Biden has also sharply escalated his personal rhetoric against Netanyahu in recent months. During an August appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast, he reportedly called Netanyahu “evil incarnate.” He has additionally aired unsubstantiated theories involving Israeli figures and the dissemination of material from his laptop, while acknowledging that he did not possess forensic evidence tying Israeli intelligence or Israeli government officials to the alleged activity. His latest comments are particularly notable given his father’s complicated relationship with Netanyahu during the Gaza war. President Joe Biden repeatedly declared his support for Israel following October 7 and traveled to Israel days after the massacre. As the war continued, however, his administration increasingly clashed with Netanyahu’s government over civilian casualties, humanitarian conditions in Gaza and the conduct of Israeli military operations. Hunter Biden’s LBC appearance extended far beyond Israel. He also launched a blistering attack on President Trump, describing him as “an existential threat to not just our constitutional republic, but to all of NATO and for the entire globe.” He characterized Trump as the greatest global crisis since World War II and said he feared Trump might attempt to remain in the White House after his term expires. “I don’t think that he has any plans of leaving the White House,” Biden said. Asked by Marr about the implications of such a scenario, Biden said the United States would be entering “completely uncharted territory” and should “plan for the worst and hope for the best.” Biden also called for a political “reckoning” after the Trump presidency and argued that Democrats should consider impeachment proceedings if they regain control of the House, accusing Trump of conduct he said amounted to “high crimes and misdemeanours.” Despite his increasingly prominent media appearances, Biden told Marr that he has no plans to run for president or seek political office. Instead, he said he wants to devote attention to helping people struggling with addiction, drawing on his own highly publicized history of substance abuse and recovery. Biden said the intense public scrutiny of his addiction ultimately forced him to confront his problems openly and, “in many ways,” helped save his life. His accusations concerning Netanyahu and October 7, however, are likely to be among the most controversial remarks from the interview. While serious investigations and reporting have documented major Israeli intelligence and security failures preceding the Hamas invasion, Biden went substantially further by alleging intentional inaction by Netanyahu — a claim for which he offered no substantiating evidence in the LBC interview. {Matzav.com} READ MORE👉👉 --- 📲 Join the Matzav.com WhatsApp Family! 🗞️
