Biden Uses Late-Night Comedy Interview To Lecture Israel On Hamas War

After months of ducking more serious interview spaces and public press conferences, President Joe Biden made time on Monday for a sit-down interview with NBC’s late-night comedy host Seth Meyers — and he used the platform to lecture Israel about the ongoing war against Hamas terrorists.

During the interview, while Biden reinforced his support for Israel in its mission to wipe out the terror group — which was responsible for the unprovoked attack on Israel on October 7 — he also said that continued attacks on Gaza put Israel at risk of losing “support from around the world.”

Meyers began by asking Biden about the likelihood that a two-state solution was even possible, given the current climate — and Biden agreed that the road forward would not be an easy one.

“There is a path forward, with difficulty. Here’s the path forward. Look, first of all, there are– the hostages being held must be released and if we’ve got at least in principle an agreement, there will be a ceasefire while that takes place,” Biden said. “Ramadan’s coming up and there’s been an agreement by the Israelis that they would not engage in activities during Ramadan as well in order to give us time to get all the hostages out.”

Biden went on to say that he firmly believed there had to be an Israel for any Jew anywhere in the world to be safe, but warned that continued attacks in Gaza would lead to other nations stepping away from supporting Israel.

“Look, Israel has had the overwhelming support of the vast majority of nations. If it keeps this up without – with this incredibly conservative government they have, and Ben-Gvir and others – I’ve known every major foreign policy leader in Israel since Golda Meir – they’re gonna lose support from around the world, and that is not in Israel’s interest,” Biden said.

In the months since the October 7 attacks, while several nations have voiced support for Israel, they have also repeatedly attempted to pressure Israel into dialing back the offensive in Gaza – which is aimed at rooting out and destroying Hamas. Despite claiming to support Israel — and claiming to act out of concern over the number of civilian casualties — many are basing their calls for a ceasefire on casualty counts that come directly from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.
