Tucker Carlson: Trump voters feel 'betrayed' over Israel support Speaking to Piers Morgan on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Tucker Carlson said many supporters of Donald Trump feel “heartbroken” and “betrayed” over Washington’s continued backing of Israel. Carlson argued that the voters who helped elect Trump expected a break from past US policy, including what he described as handing operational authority to Benjamin Netanyahu, saying many now believe the US relationship with Israel is “hurting us gravely” and “getting Americans killed”.

Israel tells US it's running low on missile interceptors Israel has warned the United States that its supply of ballistic missile interceptors is running dangerously low as its war on Iran enters its third week, according to US officials who spoke to Semafor. Israeli defence systems entered the current conflict already depleted after last year’s fighting with Iran, when large numbers of interceptors were used to block incoming missiles. Iran’s sustained barrage has placed further strain on Israel’s long-range air defence network. Reports indicate that Iran has also equipped some of its missiles with cluster munitions, complicating interception efforts and accelerating the depletion of Israel’s stockpile. Washington has been aware of the problem for months. One US official told Semafor, “It’s something we expected and anticipated" The same official stressed that the United States is not facing similar shortages and retains significant interceptor reserves. The comment comes amid growing concern that a prolonged war with Iran could rapidly drain missile defence supplies.

On Saturday, Trump wrote on Truth Social: "The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife 'Papers' and Media actually want us to lose the War... Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts!” Senator Elizabeth Warren criticised the remarks, calling them “straight out of the authoritarian playbook.” Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. https://t.co/7bBgnsbalw March 14, 2026
