In this Just the News article, Nicholas Ballasy reports that U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee publicly pushed back against Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly over claims about the scale of U.S. defense backing for Israel.
- Huckabee responded to a video clip circulating on X in which Carlson and Kelly discussed U.S. military support for Israel.
- Carlson claimed Israel could not sustain a blockade or defend itself “for 24 hours” without what he described as “$1.5 trillion” in U.S. military backing.
- Huckabee disputed that figure, saying the actual annual U.S. support is $3.8 billion, not $1.5 trillion.
- Huckabee argued that Kelly and Carlson should know how to verify basic facts, noting that he had worked with both of them at Fox News.
- He accused them of either being too lazy to research the issue or intentionally misleading their audience.
- Huckabee also defended the aid arrangement by saying Israel spends “many X” more than that on U.S. goods and services.
- He framed the U.S.-Israel defense relationship as delivering a “huge ROI” for America.
- The article centers on the growing conservative debate over U.S. support for Israel, especially as prominent media voices question whether the alliance costs too much or increases U.S. exposure to Middle East conflict.
