Benjamin Netanyahu‘s son has furiously hit back at Tucker Carlson, suggesting that he is being secretly funded by the Qatari government.

Yair Netanyahu was responding to a recent Carlson video titled ‘It’s time for Bibi to go’ in which the conservative commentator claimed that Israel’s Prime Minister was telling Arab leaders in the Middle East that he had control over Trump.

‘Bibi [Benjamin Netanyahu] is running around the Middle East and telling people, I control the United States, I control Donald Trump,’ Carlson told viewers.

Yair Netanyahu hit back hard, writing on X that Carlson was ‘Qatar‘s b****’.

‘Tucker just say (sic) any bs propaganda lie, without any source or proof, and expect everyone to believe him, despite him being obsessed about Israel, Jews and Netanyahu for two years and being super bias,’ Yair said.

‘My dad isn’t “running around the Middle East” saying that s***. He can’t go anywhere in the Middle East these days, and the Middle East Muslim Arab leaders are his biggest enemies!’

Yair then posted a series of images showing Carlson meeting with Arab leaders and re-posted other tweets which accused the ex-Fox host of taking money from Middle Eastern countries.

The furious clash between the Netanyahu heir and one of America’s leading conservative voices came as Donald Trump and Netanyahu announced a peace agreement for Gaza at the White House on Monday.

Carlson has been accused of taking money from Middle Eastern nations such as Qatar and Iran, especially as he has elevated his criticism of Israel in recent months.

The former Fox News star also raised eyebrows after conducting a friendly interview with Qatari leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in March of 2025.

Yair Netayahu also noted that there is no way that his father has been ‘running around’ the Middle East, as Prime Minister Netanyahu does not have the best relationships with many other nations in the region.

Benjamin Netanyahu was also designated as a war criminal by the International Criminal Court ahead of his visit to the United Nations last week, which led to thousands of protestors calling for his arrest in New York last week.

Netanyahu also took an unusual route to fly to New York, one mapped to avoid crossing into the airspace of adversarial nations that would seek to arrest him for his alleged war crimes.

The Prime Minister’s route avoided crossing over France and Spain, and took him over Italy and Greece.

The detour added an additional 372 miles to the trip.
