NEW YORK CITY (VINnews) – Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon said Tucker Carlson called him during the Israel-Hamas war and asked to be taken off a supposed “list” because he was being attacked by Jews.

Danon recounted the conversation at a Jewish Policy Center event.

“I got a phone call… from Tucker Carlson,” Danon said. “He called me and told me, ‘Ambassador, can you please take me off the list?’ … I’m being attacked by the Jews, so maybe you have like a list. Can you take me off this list?”

Danon said he told Carlson no such list exists. He attributed the criticism of Carlson to the commentator’s promotion of “lies” and “blood libels” against Israeli soldiers. At the time of the call, Danon’s own son was serving in Gaza.

After the conversation ended, Danon reflected on the exchange.

“When we finished the call, I thought to myself… maybe we should have this list,” he said. “Maybe it’s about time we put a list of those who promote antisemitism online, of those that are hosting antisemites on podcasts. And fight back.”
