Speaking in Qatar, Tucker Carlson questioned why the United States prioritizes Israel over Gulf states such as Qatar, arguing that the strategic value of the relationship with Israel is largely one-sided.
He described Israel as “a completely insignificant country” with “no resources” and a population of about 9 million, claiming that its significance comes solely from the U.S. security guarantee. Carlson asked whether the United States is obligated to defend Israel and argued that there is “no overriding strategic interest” for Washington, saying the relationship brings “nothing” but costs.
In contrast, he said the Gulf states—particularly the six GCC countries—offer clear and tangible benefits to the United States, calling those relationships far more important than ties with Israel. He concluded that Qatar’s relationship with the U.S. is “infinitely more important” than America’s relationship with Israel.
