Former PM Bennett condemns Tucker Carlson as ‘a chickenshit’ and ‘a phony’

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett denounces Tucker Carlson as “a chickenshit”and “a phony,” after the right-wing American commentator claimed he was detained and interrogated at Ben Gurion Airport.

“The guy who’s been spouting lies about Israel for the past two years, landed today at Ben Gurion Airport, took a quick picture in the logistics zone, tweeted it to pretend he’s actually IN Israel (so he can later claim that he’s a serious reporter who toured Israel), didn’t even step foot in country, then made up a story that he’s being supposedly harassed by our security (didn’t happen), whined about it, got back into the private jet and flew off,” Bennett writes on X.

“Next time he talks about Israel as if he’s some expert, just remember this guy is a phony!”
