Tucker Carlson and several prominent political figures have indicated plans to establish a new third party centered on opposition to Israel’s influence in American politics. This emerging group includes former U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, current U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, and Joe Kent, who resigned as the president’s counterterrorism chief earlier this year amid concerns about potential conflict with Iran.

All four have distanced themselves from former President Donald Trump at various stages, with Israel’s role in U.S. foreign policy frequently cited as a key point of contention. Their criticisms range from opposing Israel’s perceived involvement in steering the United States toward war with Iran to broader allegations that both Trump and the American political system are overly influenced by Israel and its advocates.

Carlson, Greene, Massie, and Kent, who share a history of isolationist views, have also been linked to conspiracy theories surrounding Israel, including those related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Despite their disparate backgrounds, they are united by a shared belief that Israel and its U.S. supporters constitute a fundamental betrayal of the “America First” movement.

In a recent social media post, Greene underscored the group’s message, stating, “We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all.” The group was pictured together at Carlson’s home in Maine, signaling the start of their political venture.

The proposed party reflects growing tensions within the Republican Party and illustrates a faction seeking to realign U.S. priorities around non-interventionism and skepticism of foreign alliances, particularly with regard to Israel. The group’s emergence raises questions about the impact of foreign policy disagreements on domestic political dynamics ahead of the 2024 election cycle.
