The man who knows Washington from the inside reveals: the new alliance in the American right and the battle for Israel
Yoram Hazony, a researcher and insider in American right-wing circles, reveals in an interview with Maariv the ideological struggles within the US right. He describes Marco Rubio's ideological shift, the confrontation with Tucker Carlson over antisemitism in his show, and the young generation on the right that sees Israel as a strategic partner against Muslim enemies.
In an extensive interview with Maariv, Yoram Hazony, a researcher and insider in American right-wing circles, reveals the internal ideological struggles within the US right. Hazony describes the significant transformation Senator Marco Rubio has undergone in the past decade, from being "the same thing" as Nikki Haley to an intellectual who writes regularly in new nationalist publications. However, Hazony assesses that Rubio's political ambitions may force him to distance himself from Israel. In contrast, Hazony analyzes the negative influence of Tucker Carlson, whom he defines as the "godfather of the alternative right" and as someone who turned his show into a "leading clearinghouse for antisemitism." Hazony reveals that Trump personally approached Carlson to ask him to mend fences with the Jewish community, and that Carlson sought to speak at the National Conservatism conference in Jerusalem but was rejected by Hazony. Finally, Hazony describes a young generation on the American right that is unimpressed by Palestinian demands and sees Israel as a strategic alliance against Muslim enemies, while warning of a lack of knowledge about Judaism among the younger generation.
