Tucker Carlson Addresses “Detainment” Incident at Israeli Airport for the First Time (VIDEO)
Tucker Carlson has addressed the Daily Mail’s report that claimed he was detained in Israel.
In his latest interview, in which he sat down with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Tucker addressed the report on the detention incident.
Tucker at the start of the video shared that after the interview concluded with Huckabee, Israeli authorities were holding on to his and his producers’ passports.
The former Fox News host further shared that two of his producers “were called into rooms and given the third degree.”
After one of his producers left the room where he was being asked questions, he came out of the room and told Tucker, “That was the weirdest experience of my life. They asked me questions about the interview.”
Tucker added, “They were doing an intel op and humiliation exercise on my producer. This isn’t security. We are leaving right now!”

Tucker addresses the “detaining” for the first time today. It turns out the video that went viral “debunking” the story had absolutely nothing to do with it, wasn’t based in reality or fact & was selectively edited, as anyone should’ve been able to tell.pic.twitter.com/tZXh3jLcwH

However, during his statement on the incident, Tucker Carlson never mentioned that he himself had been taken to a room and interrogated or detained, contradicting the Daily Mail’s report.
Shortly after the report went viral, security footage of Tucker Carlson taking a picture of a man at the airport went viral, with many users on X using the clip to refute Tucker’s claims about his team’s treatment at the airport.

Tucker addressed the security footage, saying the video was taken before the interview and that the man in the clip was his driver, not an airport employee.
After the initial report of the detention incident went viral, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee released a statement sharing, “EVERYONE who comes in/out of Israel (every country for that matter) has passports checked & routinely asked security questions. Even ME going in/out with Diplomatic Passport & Diplomatic Visa.”
