Tucker Carlson claimed Israeli security forces briefly detained him at Tel Aviv airport after meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Carlson flew to Israel following an online disagreement with Huckabee over the country's treatment of Christians. Carlson frequently criticizes Israel's military actions in Gaza. "Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about," said Carlson. Sources told the Daily Mail that the Israeli government initially opposed allowing Carlson entry but ultimately decided to permit his visit to avoid a "diplomatic incident." Carlson has recently shared his platform with overt Nazi apologist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. This alignment caused conflict at the conservative Heritage Foundation last year over the merits of such engagement.
