On Tuesday, Shobal, the son of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, attacked US President Joe Biden, accusing him of “dementia,” before withdrawing his tweet on the “X” platform and apologizing, along with his father.

Ben Gvir Jr. retracted his tweet that he posted on the “X” platform, on Monday, and replaced it, on Tuesday, with a tweet in which he wrote, “Mr. President, sorry.”

Ben Gvir Jr. wrote in his tweet, which he deleted: “In these difficult times, it is important to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease, which is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and is the most common cause of cognitive decline and dementia in old age, and it is a serious disease that impairs a person’s performance and ability to act.”

He attached his tweet to a picture of US President Biden.

Ben Gvir apologized to the US President for his son’s tweet.

He wrote in a tweet on the “X” platform, on Tuesday: “Shubal, my son, is my favorite ever, but tonight he made a grave mistake in a tweet that I strongly reject.”

He added: “The United States is our great friend and President Biden is a friend of Israel. Even if I disagree with his behavior, there is no room, God forbid, for reprehensible behavior.”

Ben Gvir continued: “Respect for humanity is first and second, this is how I raise my children. “I apologize for my son’s words.”

Ben Gvir has previously criticized the United States and President Biden many times.

On Monday, Ben Gvir said, “The Israelis are disturbed by the restrictions and directives imposed on us by the Biden administration, especially because of the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, which we all know goes to Hamas.”

He added, “The Israelis are very disturbed by the introduction of fuel, which in fact gives energy to Hamas (in its ongoing fighting with Israel since last October 7).”

 Ben Gvir called on “the Biden administration to stop pressuring us (Israel) to bring fuel and humanitarian equipment that ultimately goes to Hamas.”

 Israel has prevented the entry of fuel into Gaza since the start of the war on October 7, but later allowed the entry of very scarce quantities that do not meet the minimum needs of the Strip, which is inhabited by about 2.3 million people.

 On Sunday, Ben Gvir said in an interview in the Wall Street Journal that former US President Donald Trump would not have forced Israel to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza, as Biden is doing.

After the interview, opposition leader Yair Lapid and Defense Council Minister Benny Gantz said in separate statements that Ben Gvir is harming Israel's relations with the United States.
