Andrew Tate, the polarizing influencer often criticized for promoting controversial ideologies, recently engaged in an interview with journalist Piers Morgan.
In the course of the discussion, Tate referred to the Israel-Hamas conflict as "genocide".
The conversation between Tate and Morgan intensified as they delved into the sensitive topic of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Additionally, Tate openly called out Ben Shapiro, the co-founder of 'The Daily Wire' and a radio show host, for his "hypocrisy."
After Tate's interview with Morgan was released, it caused a stir on social media due to the perspectives shared by the former professional kickboxer on various subjects.
One viewpoint that sparked significant controversy among social media users was Tate's stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
A person uploaded a brief 7-second clip from the interview on X, where Morgan is seen asking Tate, "What is your view of this war?"
In response, Tate stated, "It is a genocide and it is disgusting. And it doesn't matter which side of the political spectrum you follow."
Morgan asked Tate, "What is your reaction to what happened on October the 7th??" Tate said, "Sure, I'll answer the question professionally. I do not condone the loss of human life on either side."
He added, "I think anybody doing anything which directly damages civilians is disgusting and abhorrent. However, I would be an amateur if I could not sit and pretend I do not understand the motivations behind either side. This is not even me taking a side."He explained, "I understand why Israel is doing what it's doing. I understand why Palestine is doing what it is doing. However, I still call the Israeli actions absolutely abhorrent and genocide."
When Morgan more specifically asked, "In terms of what Hamas did on October the 7th, do you accept that was an act of terrorism?"Tate explained, "For me to answer the question, I have to be very professional, Piers. For me to sit on the outside in Romania with no personal involvement in Israel-Palestine, it's easy for me to say, yes, it was an act of terror."
