According to reports from Mehr News Agency, the Hebrew-language newspaper Haaretz highlights that Tucker Carlson, a leading American journalist and one of the most influential figures in the U.S., has spent extensive hours at the White House cautioning President Donald Trump about the dangers posed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his regime’s policies.
This publication notes that Carlson has strong connections within American power circles and has increased his presence in recent weeks to avert a potential war in the Middle East. He emphasizes his intent to alert the U.S. President that Netanyahu is actively seeking to ignite a global conflict, jeopardizing U.S. interests and global security.This week, Carlson dedicated his podcasts to discussing Israel, featuring an interview with a Palestinian-American from Bethlehem who spoke about settler violence in the West Bank and the Israeli army’s indifference to these actions.
Carlson has also leveled sharp criticisms at Netanyahu, recalling his visit to Washington in the early 2000s to advocate for the invasion of Iraq. He asserts that the Israeli Prime Minister is fully aware of his actions and seizes every opportunity to push the U.S. toward war.
He stated, ‘We are heading towards war, and everyone knows that the only reason is Tel Aviv’s desire for it. This is their last chance; this is the final period in which Israel enjoys support from both American parties.’Haaretz adds that Carlson’s presence in the White House has created tensions within the pro-Israel factions among American conservatives. Meanwhile Trump feels compelled to approach Carlson cautiously due to his significant popularity among the public.
Carlson has conducted numerous interviews with Arab media describing Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank as ‘an attempt to steal land’ and labeling Netanyahu as ‘a villain and a destroyer’ who endangers the entire world.
