Netanyahu accused of hypocrisy for recognising Armenian genocide in a podcast

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recognized the Armenian genocide during a podcast interview, sparking widespread accusations of hypocrisy online. Critics pointed out the irony of his statement while Israel is accused of committing genocide in Gaza. Many also noted that Israel has not officially passed a Knesset resolution to recognize the genocide and has armed Azerbaijan in its conflict with Armenia. The recognition was seen by many as unserious and a form of geopolitical opportunism to deflect from current events.
