This is apropos a couple of letters to the Editor titled ‘Tucker Carlson’s revolt against America’s Israel policy’ carried by the newspaper in recent days.

Here, I would like to add that the debate intensified when the ambassador argued that Christians enjoy greater protection in Israel than in many Muslim-majority countries.

Carlson challenged that assertion, claiming that there are more Christians in Qatar alone than in Israel.

He further argued that Qatar has provided land for churches, schools, and hospitals and that Christians there live openly and peacefully.

In contrast, Carlson pointed out that Christians in Israel face intimidation and harassment and that their numbers have declined in recent years due to emigration.
