US EditionMike Huckabee Rebukes Tucker Carlson Over Claims About Israel
Carlson challenged Huckabee on pro-Israel narratives and GOP donor influence amid growing party divisions; 53% of Republicans under 45 oppose renewing Israel's $38 billion weapons deal.
- On Wednesday, Tucker Carlson flew to Ben Gurion Airport, interviewed U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee for two and a half hours and left without setting foot in Israel after Huckabee challenged Carlson on `reckless and false` IDF killing claims and accused him of platforming Anthony Aguilar.

- During the exchange, Carlson raised specific episodes such as a secret July meeting with convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, accused sex offender Tom Alexandrovich fleeing Israel, and disputed claims that his producers were detained.

- With two pillars weakening, major donors Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer and John Paulson fund a super PAC to unseat Representative Thomas Massie, challenging the Christian Zionist consensus.
