Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson has called on the U.S. to “detach” from Israel after the fragile ceasefire agreement in the Iran war was almost immediately placed in jeopardy by ongoing Israeli attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Iran and Pakistan, which helped broker the eleventh-hour agreement Tuesday, said Lebanon was included in the deal to secure a two-week pause in the fighting, but Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the White House said it was not.
Lebanon subsequently said that 203 people were killed in Israeli strikes on its territory Wednesday, with more than 1,000 wounded.

He continued: “And this distancing should begin with a total end of aid of any kind, military or economic, to Israel by the U.S. government. And people who love Israel, some of whom are pretty successful, can send all the money they want to Israel. And that’s fine.
“But the U.S. government should send not one more dollar to Israel and not one more piece of military materiel to Israel. Not one more fighter jet or bomb or missile defense system or small arm or ammunition of any kind.”
Carlson went on to accuse Israel of “aggressively acting against our interest and so, to continue to arm and finance them – their generous welfare state, for example, or their military, defend their nation – is not only contrary to core American interests, it’s just masochism.”
