Tucker Carlson said he believes the United States went to war with Iran "at the behest and then the demand of Israel". Carlson also accused the Israeli government of committing a genocide in Gaza, a charge the Israeli government strongly denies. The UN's top court the International Court of Justice has not yet made a determination as to whether Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide.
Victoria Derbyshire challenged Tucker Carlson on allegations of antisemitism, and on his interview with far right activist Nick Fuentes, who has praised Hitler and questioned the Holocaust.
