In Thursday’s new episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, aired after the visit, Carlson showed footage from inside Qatari facilities hosting refugees and delivered some of his harshest remarks to date about what he described as Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Carlson also expressed discomfort about filming refugees who have suffered greatly. “We didn’t want to point a big camera in people’s faces, so we filmed with an iPhone,” he said.

Carlson said that he and his team “had to hold back tears” when they saw “the cruelty of the bad Israeli regime” reflected in children’s injuries. “Children with severed limbs, shattered faces. The real crime is that the supporters of this brutality try to justify it,” Carlson said.

The former CNN and Fox News commentator added that Israel “shot dozens of journalists so that no one could film what was happening.” Carlson also said Qatar wants to evacuate and host many more Palestinians, but Israel “does not allow it.”

This episode and his visit to Gaza refugees were met this week with a major wave of praise on social media, while Carlson also faced some criticism with claims that he is “antisemitic.”
