Conservative American broadcaster Tucker Carlson has strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over a resurfaced remark in which Netanyahu allegedly described the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks as “a good thing for US–Israeli relations.”
Carlson, speaking during his latest broadcast, called the statement “outrageous and deeply offensive,” stressing that no national tragedy should ever be framed as a diplomatic advantage.
“To hear a world leader suggest that the murder of thousands of Americans somehow benefited relations with Israel is beyond indecent,” Carlson said. “It reveals a level of cynicism that Americans should never forget.”
The controversy stems from comments Netanyahu reportedly made in the early 2000s while reflecting on the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The remarks have resurfaced at a time of heightened U.S.–Israeli tensions over the ongoing conflict in Gaza and broader Middle East policies.
Carlson’s criticism has sparked intense debate across social media platforms, with supporters praising him for “telling the truth” while opponents accused him of fueling anti-Israel sentiment.
Neither Netanyahu’s office nor the Israeli Embassy in Washington has yet issued a response to Carlson’s remarks.
