Former Lebanese Foreign Minister Farés Boueiz made a series of inflammatory and widely debunked claims in a recent interview, accusing Israel of exploiting the Holocaust to “extort the world” and alleging that Jews control major institutions in the United States, including banks, Congress, and the media.
During the interview, Boueiz also questioned the scale of the Holocaust, suggesting that the number of Jewish victims had been “inflated,” and repeated conspiracy theories about Jewish influence.
He further made false claims about President Trump, asserting he had converted to Judaism. Boueiz argued that Israel portrays itself as weak despite its military strength, framing this as part of what he called a broader strategy of “extortion.”
