US political commentator and journalist Tucker Carlson said on 2 March that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have in recent days detained agents working for Israel’s Mossad agency, who were “planning bombings” in the two Gulf states. 

“It hasn’t been reported, but it’s a fact. Last night, in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, authorities arrested Mossad agents planning bombings in those countries. That’s weird, that doesn’t make sense,” Carlson said.

“Why would the Israelis be committing bombings in Gulf countries, which are also being attacked by Iran? Aren’t they on the same side?”

“Israel wants to hurt Iran – and Qatar, and the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, and Oman and Kuwait,” he went on to say, without providing a source for his allegations.
