Hunter Biden, the son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, claimed in an interview with British broadcaster LBC that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knew Hamas was planning the Oct. 7 attack and "did absolutely nothing about it".
Speaking to Andrew Marr on Tonight with Andrew Marr, Biden also described the war in Gaza as comparable to genocide, while acknowledging that the term was very loaded. He did not offer evidence for his claim about Netanyahu.
In the same interview, Biden called Donald Trump an existential threat to the United States, NATO and the wider world, describing him as the biggest global crisis since the Second World War. Asked whether he would run for president, he said he had no plans to seek office and wanted to focus on helping people affected by addiction. He said the public scrutiny of his own addiction had forced him to confront it openly and had in many ways saved his life.
