US Ambassador Mike Huckabee stated it would be "fine" if ‘Israel’ claimed the biblical "Promised Land" (stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates), grounding his diplomatic stance in religious conviction The interview highlights a deepening rift within the Republican base between traditional Christian Zionists like Huckabee and "America First" critics like Tucker Carlson, who has recently scrutinized ‘Israel's’ treatment of local Christian communities.
US Ambassador to ‘Israel’ Mike Huckabee told Tucker Carlson that he believes it would be “fine” if ‘Israel’ claimed all the territory historically described in the Bible as the "Promised Land"; a region stretching from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Syria and Iraq.
Huckabee, a Baptist minister and former Governor of Arkansas, was confirmed as the US Ambassador in early 2025. He is widely viewed as the most outspoken "Christian Zionist" to ever hold the post.
The Biblical Debate: From the Nile to the Euphrates
Carlson and Huckabee’s conversation centered on the interpretation of Genesis 15, where God makes a covenant with Abraham.
Carlson, who has recently become a vocal critic of unconditional US support for ‘Israel’, pressed Huckabee on the literal implications of this biblical text.
“The area God promised to Abraham’s descendants would include basically the entire Middle East,” Carlson pointed out during the exchange.
“The Levant—Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon—it’d also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq.”
Huckabee responded by grounding his diplomatic mission in religious conviction.
“Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose,” Huckabee said. “It was a people, a place, and a purpose.”
When Carlson directly asked if ‘Israel’ had the right to claim that massive expanse of land today, Huckabee’s reply was blunt: “It would be fine if they took it all.”
The Ambassador tempered the remark, characterizing it as "somewhat hyperbolic" and claimed that the modern “State of Israel” is not actively pursuing such vast borders.
“They’re not asking to go back to take all of that,” Huckabee argued.
“But they are asking to at least take the land that they now occupy, they now live in, they now own legitimately, and it is a safe haven for them.”
"Does that right [to the land] extend to other countries other than Israel? I'm just trying to understand the concept here. ... Does every nation have the same right to its own physical land that you say Israel does?" Carlson asked.
"I think it applies specifically to Israel. It applies to anyone who can prove that they have some connection to the land, connection to the history, and connection to international law. But Israel, I think, does have an extraordinary case,” Huckabee answered. Background: Deepening GOP Rift
The interview follows a period of escalating tension between the two men. Earlier in February 2026, Carlson traveled through the Middle East, producing reports that revealed the ‘Israeli’ government mistreating local Christian communities.
He specifically criticized Huckabee for “failing Jerusalem’s Christians.”
Huckabee responded on social media, challenging Carlson to a face-to-face sit-down.
The resulting interview, conducted at Ben Gurion Airport, highlights a growing fissure within the Republican base: a "traditional" pro-‘Israel’ wing led by figures like Huckabee versus a more isolationist or critical "America First" wing represented by Carlson.
Diplomatic Fallout
Critics argue that Huckabee’s comments undermine the official US position, which traditionally supports a two-state solution.
Since his appointment, Huckabee has famously refused to use the term "West Bank," preferring the biblical "Judea and Samaria," and has expressed support for ‘Israeli’ sovereignty over settlements.
Murray was born in Hammersmith, London, to an English school teacher mother and a Scottish, Gaelic-speaking father who had been born on the Isle of Lewis and who worked as a civil servant. He has one elder brother.[18][19] In an interview with The Herald, Murray stated that his father had intended to be in London temporarily but stayed after meeting his mother, and that they "encouraged a good discussion around the dinner table" when he was growing up but "neither are political."[20]
Murray was educated at his local state primary and secondary schools, before going to a comprehensive which had previously been a grammar school. Recalling this experience in 2011, he wrote, "My parents had been promised that the old grammar school standards and ethos remained, but none did. By the time I arrived, the school was what would now be described as 'an inner-city sink school', a war zone similar to those many of the children's parents had escaped from."[21] Murray's parents withdrew him from the school after a year. He won scholarships to St Benedict's School, Ealing, and subsequently to Eton College,[18][19][21] taught briefly at a school near Aberdeen,[22] then took a degree in English at Magdalen College, Oxford.[18][19]
Publications
At age 19, while in his second year at the University of Oxford, Murray's Bosie: A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglaswas published, which Christopher Hitchens described as "masterly".[22][23][24]Bosie was awarded a Lambda Award for gay biography in 2000.[25] After leaving Oxford, Murray wrote a play, Nightfall, about the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazis.[26]
In 2017, Bloomsbury published Murray's The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam, which spent almost 20 weeks on The Sunday Times bestseller list and was a No. 1 bestseller in non-fiction. It has since been published in over 20 languages.[32] In The Strange Death of Europe, Murray argued that Europe "is committing suicide" by allowing non-European immigration into its borders and losing its "faith in its beliefs".[33] The book received a polarised response from critics. Juliet Samuel of The Daily Telegraph praised Murray, saying that: "His overall thesis, that a guilt-driven and exhausted Europe is playing fast and loose with its precious modern values by embracing migration on such a scale, is hard to refute."[34] An academic review in the Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs acclaimed the book as "explosive" and "an elegantly written, copiously documented exposé of Europe's suicidal hypocrisy".[35]Rod Liddle of The Sunday Times called the book "a brilliant, important and profoundly depressing book".[36]
Other reviews of the book were highly negative. In The Guardian, the political journalist Gaby Hinsliff described Strange Death as "gentrified xenophobia" and "Chapter after chapter circles around the same repetitive themes: migrants raping and murdering and terrorising", also stating that Murray offers little definition of the European culture which he claims is under threat.[37] Writing in The New York Times, Indian novelist Pankaj Mishra described the book as "a handy digest of far-right clichés".[38] Mishra accused Murray of defending Pegida, of writing that the English Defence League "had a point", and of describing Hungarian politician Viktor Orbán as a better sentinel of "European values" than George Soros.[38] Writing in The Intercept, Murtaza Hussain criticised what he called the "relentlessly paranoid tenor" and "apocalyptic picture of Europe" portrayed in the book, while challenging the links Murray made between non-European immigration and large increases in crime.[39] In Middle East Eye, Georgetown University in Qatar professor Ian Almond called the book "a staggeringly one-sided flow of statistics, interviews and examples, reflecting a clear decision to make the book a rhetorical claim that Europe is doomed to self-destruction".[40]
Murray wrote about social justice and identity politics in his 2019 bookThe Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identitywhich became a Sunday Times bestseller.[41][42] Murray's narration of the book was nominated as an audio book of the year for the British Book Awards.[43] In the book, Murray points to what he sees as a cultural shift, away from established modes of religion and political ideology, in which various forms of identity can provide markers of social status.[44] He divides his book into chapters dealing with four different identity groups: "Gay", "Women", "Race" and "Trans."[42] Murray criticises the work of French philosopher Michel Foucault for what he sees as a reduction of society to a system of power relations.[45] Murray's book drew polarised responses from critics. Historian Tim Stanley in The Daily Telegraph praised the book, calling Murray "a superbly perceptive guide through the age of the social justice warrior".[46] Katie Law in the Evening Standard said that Murray "tackled another necessary and provocative subject with wit and bravery".[47] Conversely, William Davies gave a highly critical review of Murray's work in The Guardian, describing the book as "the bizarre fantasies of a rightwing provocateur, blind to oppression".[48]
Murray's book The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason was published in 2022 and debuted at number one on The Bookseller's nonfiction bestseller list in the UK, having sold 11,673 copies in its first week.[49] It also reached the New York Times bestseller list in the United States.[50] The book was characterised by columnist Gerard Baker as an examination of attempts to destroy Western civilisation from sources within.[51] Robert Colville, writing in the Sunday Times, called it "a convincing and often terrifying case that the barbarians are at the gates", and that Murray argues in the book that "a cultural war . . . is being waged remorselessly against all the roots of the western tradition and against everything good that the western tradition has produced."[52]
In 2016, Murray organised a competition through The Spectator in which entrants were invited to submit offensive poems about Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, with a top prize of £1,000 donated by a reader.[56] This was in reaction to the Böhmermann affair, in which German satirist Jan Böhmermann was prosecuted under the German penal code for such a poem.[57] Murray announced the winner of the poetry competition as Conservative MP Boris Johnson (former editor of the magazine, and former mayor of London, and later Prime Minister of the United Kingdom).[56]
Roger Scruton tapes
In April 2019, New Statesman journalist George Eaton published an article based on an interview with Roger Scruton, which attributed a number of controversial and racist statements to Scruton, who was publicly condemned by various members of Parliament and dismissed from his position as a government housing adviser as a result.
Murray condemned Eaton and the New Statesman for "journalistic dishonesty"[58] and urged Eaton and New Statesman editor Jason Cowley to share the original recording of the interview.[59] When the New Statesman initially refused, Murray acquired the original recording of the interview from unknown sources, which formed the basis of his article in The Spectator titled "The Scruton Tapes: Anatomy of a Modern Hit Job" showing that Scruton's remarks had been taken out of context and misrepresented by Eaton.[59][60]
The New Statesman subsequently published an apology to Scruton for Eaton's misrepresentation of his words, and housing secretary James Brokenshire apologised to Scruton for his dismissal.[61] Shortly before he died in January 2020, Scruton wrote an article for The Spectator in which he called Murray 'brave' and spoke of his gratitude for Murray's 'generous defence' of his reputation.[62]
Philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy has said of Murray, "Whether one agrees with him or not" he is "one of the most important public intellectuals today".[20] Writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali and columnist Sohrab Ahmari have praised Murray's work and writing on Islam in Europe.[72][9]
In 2020 columnist Bari Weiss placed Murray within the intellectual dark web, a loosely affiliated group of commentators, with whom she is largely sympathetic but also critical,[73] including Bret Weinstein, Dave Rubin, Joe Rogan, and Sam Harris.[74] Murray has rejected his placement within this group.[75] After 2021 Murray has been working for Weiss' The Free Press, and Weiss described him as a friend.[76] Murray has also confronted Rogan over Rogan's platforming of people, such as Darryl Cooper and Ian Carrol, who Murray sees as having dangerous and fringe views on topics such as Israel, Ukraine and World War II.[77]
Christianity
Murray stated that he was an Anglican until his twenties.[19][26][78] Murray said he lost his faith due to no longer believing in the Virgin birth and finding what Murray described as "repetitions, contradictions and absurdities" within the Bible and Quran.[79] In a 2024 interview, he said that he now identifies as agnostic.[80]
In a February 2006 speech to the Dutch Parliament, Murray said "conditions for Muslims in Europe must be made harder across the board: Europe must look like a less attractive proposition."[89][90] and that "All immigration into Europe from Muslim countries must stop."[91][92][93][94]Murray's former coworker at the Centre for Social Cohesion, James Brandon, interpreted this speech as calling for the collective punishment of Muslims.[95] After Murray refused politician Paul Goodman's offer to disown these comments, the Conservative Partyfrontbench severed formal relations with Murray and his Centre for Social Cohesion.[96]
According to Brandon, Murray failed to distinguish Islam from Islamism.[95] Brandon said he attempted to "de-radicalise" Murray to ensure that only Islamists were targeted and not "Muslims as a whole".[95] Brandon writes that Murray has privately retracted some of his comments.[95] In 2010, during an Intelligence Squared US debate titled "Is Islam a Religion of Peace?", Murray argued in his contribution against the motion on the grounds that "[Islamic Prophet] Muhammad was a bad man",[97][98] citing episodes from Muhammad's private life and his beheading of Jews.[99]
In 2008 Murray listed the cases of 27 writers, activists, politicians, and artists — including Salman Rushdie, Maryam Namazie, and Anwar Shaikh, all three of whom had received death threats due to their criticism of Islam. Murray said that "Unless Muslims are allowed to discuss their religion without fear of attack there can be no chance of reform or genuine freedom of conscience within Islam."[100]
In 2009 Murray was prevented from chairing a debate at the London School of Economics between academic Alan Sked and philosopher Hamza Tzortzis on the topic "Islam or Liberalism: Which is the Way Forward?", with the university citing security concerns following a week-long student protest against Israel's retaliation against Gaza. The debate took place without Murray chairing.[101] The move was criticised by The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator.[102][103][104]
In June 2009, Murray accepted an invitation to a debate with Islamist Anjem Choudary, leader of the banned militant group Al-Muhajiroun, on the subject of Sharia law and British law at Conway Hall. Members of Al-Muhajiroun acting as security guards tried to segregate men and women at the entrance of the event. Clashes broke out near the entrance between Choudary's and Murray's supporters, and Conway Hall cancelled the debate because of the attempted forced separation of men and women. Outside the building, a confrontation between Choudary and Murray over the cancellation of the event occurred.[105][106] Murray's Centre for Social Cohesion later published a study arguing that one-in-seven Islam-related terrorist cases in the UK could be linked to Al-Muhajiroun.[107]
The Future of Europe International Conference, 2018 - The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam
Murray is a vocal critic of mass immigration.[109][110] In March 2013, Murray said that London was a "foreign country" due to "white Britons" becoming a minority in 23 of the 33 London boroughs.[111][112] In Murray's book The Strange Death of Europe, he writes that Europe and its values are committing suicide due to mass immigration; in the opening pages, he calls for halting Muslim immigration. In the book, he also details crimes committed by immigrants in Europe and writes favourably of immigration hard-liner Viktor Orbán.[113][39]
In 2018 Murray filmed a video for PragerU entitled "The Suicide of Europe". In the video, he condemned "The mass movement of peoples into Europe...from the Middle East, North Africa and East Asia," and criticised European multiculturalism.[114] Alex Kotch interviewed a senior editor at the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism, Mark Pitcavage, who accused the video of being "filled with anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric".[114] Similarly, the Southern Poverty Law Center claimed that the video was a "dog whistle to the extreme right".[115]
Murray has said that it is a lie that a man can become a woman.[75]Media Matters for America reported that in September 2020, during an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, Murray paraphrased Camille Paglia and said that "at the end of every empire, they get interested in sexual fluidity, hermaphroditism, and so on."[118] He has stated that he thinks there is no such thing as non-binary gender.[119]
In September 2019, Murray said in an interview that women are held to a different standard than men when it comes to sexual behaviour, citing instances involving Drew Barrymore, Jane Fonda, and Mayim Bialik behaving sexually towards men without backlash from the media.[20]
Foreign policy

In March 2018, Hungarian politician Viktor Orbán posted a photo on his official Facebook account of himself reading the Hungarian-language edition of The Strange Death of Europe by Murray.[39] In May 2018, Murray was personally received by Orbán in Budapest as part of the "Future of Europe" conference, along with other conservative figures such as American political strategist Steve Bannon, and according to Hungarian state media had an individual discussion and photograph with Orbán.[123][124]
Israel and antisemitism
In 2013, Murray condemned journalist Owen Jones for claiming that Israel had killed an 11-month old child in a military strike. Jones responded by criticising Murray for ignoring a UN report which said an Israel airstrike had killed numerous innocent civilians.[125] In 2014, Murray defended and supported Israel during the 2014 Gaza War.[126] Murray also defended Israel's right to defend itself, saying, "If you don't believe that Israel has the right to stop a group that has proposed repeatedly since its existence that it wants to annihilate Israel, if you believe that Israel doesn't have the right to try and stop this enemy, then of course you don't believe Israel has the right to exist; you believe Israel has the right to die."[126] In private during the conflict Murray and David Frum helped write speeches for Israeli diplomat Ron Prosor.[127][128] During a visit to Israel in 2019, Murray praised Israeli society's "attitude towards nationalism", and lauded Israel's approach to border security.[129]
Starting in October 2023, Murray reported from Israel for six months following the October 7 attacks.[130] He visited the kibbutzim that were attacked in the October 7 war and interviewed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.[6][131] Murray has been a supporter of Israel during the ongoing Gaza war.[132][133] On 12 October 2023, after the Hamas-led October 7 attacks, he was invited to present a speech at the Lauderdale Road Synagogue in London which defended Jews and the State of Israel, and which gathered almost one million views online.[134] Murray has been a supporter of Israel's military response to the October 7 attacks. He spent around 6 months in Israel, visiting Gaza twice, and writing in defense of Israel's actions.[135] Murray has criticised anti-Israel protests and rhetoric in Western countries like Britain as being motivated by antisemitism and support for terrorism rather than genuine concern for Palestinians.[136][137][138] He has described some protests as "terrorist marches" and said they are organised by pro-Hamas factions aiming to spread disinformation.[139]
On April 10, 2025, Murray appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience alongside Dave Smith to debate the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. During the podcast Smith accused Murray of "selective empathy" for the people of Israel and not the people of Gaza. Murray later criticised Rogan for platforming people who spread conspiracy theories and misinformation.[144][145] Although this was praised by various media outlets, Murray's conduct throughout the debate was criticised on social media.[146][147][148]
Other activities
Murray is on the international advisory board of NGO Monitor, a Jerusalem-based NGO described as pro-Israel and right-wing,[149] which was founded in 2001 by professor Gerald M. Steinberg.[150][151][152][153] As of 2022, he was also one of the directors of the Free Speech Union, an organization established by British social commentator Toby Young in 2020 which advocates for freedom of speech, and criticises cancel culture.[154][155]
In August 2025, he won a libel suit that was brought against him by Muslim activist Mohammed Hijab, because Murray said in 2022 that Hijab had inflamed racial tensions in Leicester during riots between Muslim and Hindu communities. The judge ruled that this was “substantially true”.[157][158]
