Popular
conservative commentator Tucker Carlson is expected to visit Israel soon to
interview US Ambassador Mike Huckabee after recent clashes between the two on
social media, according to unsourced Hebrew media reports.
Huckabee’s
office does not immediately confirm the reports, which follow public disputes
between the two over issues related to Israel and the region.
In an
episode aired last week of The Tucker Carlson Show, Carlson accused Huckabee of
not doing enough to ensure proper treatment of Christians in Israel, prompting
Huckabee to respond on X, “Instead of talking about me, why don’t you come talk
to me?” Carlson later welcomed the invitation, and both figures posted that
they were working to set up an interview.
In a
separate clash last month, Huckabee slammed Carlson on X for comments he made
last year denying that Hamas is a terrorist group and saying it “seems more
like a political organization.”
Israel
initially considered barring Carlson from entering the country for the expected
visit, but decided against the move so as not to cause a “diplomatic incident,”
according to a Channel 13 report.
