Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson Advised Trump Against Israel Intervention
Two conservative commentators, Tucker Carlson and Charlie Kirk, told former President Donald Trump that the U.S. shouldn't get involved in the fighting between Israel and Gaza.
They think Israel isn't a real ally and that getting involved would pull America into another war.
Carlson even said that Israel and the U.S. are 'not allies in any sense.'
Meanwhile, Donald Trump wrote a letter asking Israel's President to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump thinks Netanyahu's trial for corruption charges, like taking bribes, is unfair and political.
He also called Netanyahu a strong wartime leader.
Netanyahu himself says his trial is a 'witch hunt.'
There are also reports from Gaza saying Israel has broken ceasefires many times, causing many deaths.
Tucker Carlson revealed he and Charlie Kirk advised Donald Trump against U.S. involvement in the Israel-Gaza war.
Carlson stated that Israel is 'not allies in any sense' and that the conflict aims to draw the U.S. into a regime change war.
Donald Trump sent a letter calling Netanyahu's corruption trial 'political' and 'unjustified,' urging a pardon.
Netanyahu is on trial for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, charges he denies and calls a 'witch hunt.'
Reports from Gaza's Government Media Office claim Israel violated the ceasefire nearly every day following a declaration in the Gaza Strip.
