Netanyahu labelled a hypocrite for Armenian genocide recognition

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been called a hypocrite by people on social media after he recognised the Armenian genocide on August 26th during an interview for a podcast, Middle East Eye reported.

In a podcast led by right-wing media personality, Patrick Bet David, the Israeli leader said that he recognised the killing of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman empire, alongside the deaths of thousands of Assyrians and Greeks during the period of World War One as a genocide.

His comments received extensive criticism online with many suggesting the Israeli Prime Minister is being a hypocrite to discuss the Armenian genocide while his country is conducting a genocide in Gaza.
