Carlson, Huckabee Spar Over Video of American Allegedly Beaten by Settlers
Huckabee said U.S. officials could not reach the victim directly as Carlson accused him of ignoring pleas for help and shared an unreleased attack video.
- On Thursday, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee of ignoring an American citizen allegedly beaten by settlers, sharing unreleased footage of the incident on X.
- Carlson alleged the man was beaten "almost to death" last week in Turmusaya and claimed Huckabee "blew him off" despite being contacted for assistance regarding the alleged assault.
- Huckabee responded on X, calling the accusations "unfounded" while detailing Embassy Jerusalem American Citizen Services' failed attempts to contact the victim directly at Istishari Hospital in Ramallah.
- Officials communicated with the victim's son in Chicago but could not obtain direct contact information for the father, who was undergoing surgery at Istishari Hospital, Huckabee stated.
- Dismissing the claims as "deranged," Huckabee demanded an apology, stating Carlson should "acknowledge the facts" rather than making public allegations without verifying the embassy's documented efforts.
