Whirlwind visit
Tucker Carlson Arrives in Israel
This is a developing story.
American commentator Tucker Carlson arrived in Israel, landing at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv via private jet for a planned interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee. The interview reportedly took place without Carlson leaving the airport premises, amid recent controversies surrounding his criticisms of Israel and Christian Zionism.
Israeli officials considered denying Carlson entry due to his statements but ultimately permitted it to prevent a diplomatic incident. Carlson confirmed his presence by posting "Greetings from Israel" on X earlier that day.
No further details on the interview's content or Carlson's itinerary have been released.
Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
