"Longtime Donald Trump supporter Tucker Carlson has broken with the president on some key issues, becoming one of the country's staunchest critics of the US relationship with Israel. Carlson is engaging with voices he once criticised, like The New York Times, and his rising popularity has fueled speculation in Washington, DC that he could try to ride that momentum all the way to the White House."
"In the United Kingdom, days after a knife attack in north London left two Jewish men in hospital, much of the country's political and media class settled on a narrative that anti-genocide protests and the only Jewish leader in British politics, Zack Polanksi, were to blame. Meenakshi Ravi dissects the media coverage."
"Israel's settler movement has moved from the fringes to having influence over key Israeli institutions, including the media, where a constellation of voices is pushing for Israel to conquer new territory. The Listening Posts Tariq Nafi reports on the rapid normalisation of the idea of a Greater Israel."
Tucker Carlson has broken with Donald Trump on key issues and has become a prominent critic of the United States relationship with Israel. His engagement with previously criticized voices, including The New York Times, has increased his popularity and sparked speculation about political ambitions. In the United Kingdom, after a knife attack in north London injured two Jewish men, much of the political and media establishment attributed blame to anti-genocide protests and to Zack Polanksi, a Jewish political leader. Coverage also connected the attack narrative to broader debates about Israel and Jewish political influence. Separate reporting describes how Israel’s settler movement has gained influence over major Israeli institutions, including media, and how ideas about a Greater Israel have rapidly normalized.
