Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson has claimed that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu privately boasted of controlling both the United States and President Donald Trump.
Speaking on a recent broadcast, Carlson said unnamed sources told him Netanyahu allegedly stated, “I control the United States. I control Donald Trump.” Carlson did not provide recordings or documents to support the allegation, and the remarks remain unverified.
Neither Netanyahu’s office nor the White House has responded to the claim. Social media reactions are sharply divided, with some users expressing outrage over the alleged comments while others dismiss the report as unproven or politically motivated.
The claim surfaces at a time of heightened U.S.-Israel tensions, including debates over American involvement in Middle East conflicts. Analysts say that if the statement were true, it could raise serious concerns about foreign influence on U.S. policy.
As of now, no independent evidence has emerged to confirm the comments, and the story continues to develop.
