Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson clash with Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro over U.S. military strikes in Iran, exposing deep rifts in the Republican base. While Trump backs Levin’s pro-war stance, critics like Carlson call the attacks “disgusting and evil,” accusing Israel of exploiting American power. The feud mirrors broader generational shifts: Pew data shows 50% of Republicans under 50 now hold negative views of Israel, up from 35% in 2022, as younger voters prioritize Palestinian solidarity over traditional pro-Israel alliances. CPAC 2026 may become a battleground, with antiwar figures like Stephen Bannon and pro-Israel advocates like Reza Pahlavi vying for influence.
