Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, has launched a smear attack on US media figure Tucker Carlson. He described Carlson as “the biggest threat” to Israel, according to his remarks.
Chikli made the comments during an interview with an Israeli television channel. He claimed that Carlson now poses the main danger to the occupation state of Israel inside the United States.
“Clearly, in the United States today, the biggest threat is Tucker Carlson,” Chikli said.
He alleged that Carlson receives funding from Qatar. He also accused him of promoting its agenda.
Chikli claimed Carlson has become a supporter of Islamic law. He also accused him of defending Hamas and attacked him for opposing Islamophobia.
According to Chikli, Carlson has shifted into what he described as a defender of “Islamic extremism.” He did not provide evidence to support the allegations.
The Israeli minister also addressed tensions with Israeli communities in Europe. He said disagreements exist over Israel’s actions. However, he denied a complete rupture in relations.
“We are not in a state of boycott,” Chikli said. He claimed to maintain friendly ties with Jewish leaders. He said he met recently with Jewish community leadership in Europe, including figures in France.
Chikli said “the main challenge is Islamic extremism”, not the European far-right.
He accused Australian leaders of avoiding the term “Islamic extremism” to describe the Bondi attack. He criticized that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong focused on hate speech and gun control.
Chikli also attacked Europeans who oppose Israel’s crimes. He accused them of hiding behind political correctness. He said leaders who cannot focus on “Islamic extremism” are unfit for office.
