Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson ignited outrage in his latest podcast after claiming that anyone who supports Israel and believes the Jewish state has a right to exist is “a shill.” Carlson went even further, predicting that President Trump’s presidency will be the “last” U.S. administration to support Israel.

The remarks come on the heels of Carlson’s recent visit to Israel, where he conducted a high profile interview with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. The exchange grew tense as Huckabee forcefully defended Israel’s historical, legal and biblical connection to the land and pushed back against narratives that question Israel’s legitimacy or security measures.

Huckabee emphasized Israel’s right to defend itself against terror threats and rejected attempts to delegitimize the Jewish state. Observers noted the sharp contrast between Carlson’s increasingly critical tone toward Israel and Huckabee’s unapologetic defense of the U.S. Israel alliance.

Carlson’s latest comments are drawing sharp criticism from pro Israel voices who warn that dismissing support for Israel as illegitimate undermines a decades long strategic partnership rooted in shared democratic values, security cooperation and moral clarity in the face of terrorism.
