I found no credible reports confirming that Charlie Kirk has changed his views in any substantive way on “the Israeli state” or “genocide of Palestinians”. All evidence indicates consistency. Key relevant facts:

===== What he has said, consistently =====
# In July 2025, Kirk said “No, Israel is not starving Gazans.” JFeed<ref>{{cite web|title=JFeed|url=https://www.jfeed.com/news-israel/charlie-kirk-gaza-food-claims|publisher=jfeed.com|access-date=2025-12-30}}</ref>
# He has called images of starving children in Gaza “propaganda” and “optical warfare.” Firstpost<ref>{{cite web|title=Firstpost|url=https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/india-gaza-guns-why-charlie-kirk-controversial-13932800.html|publisher=firstpost.com|access-date=2025-12-30}}</ref>
# He blames Hamas for civilian deaths, rejects the term “genocide” when applied to Israel’s actions.

===== What might be construed as shift (but weak) =====
* He has occasionally criticized methods used by pro-Israel advocates (e.g. accusing critics of Israel of antisemitism purely because they criticize government policy). IranTimes<ref>{{cite web|title=IranTimes|url=https://www.irantimes.com/news/what-charlie-kirk-said-about-iran%2C-israel%2C-islam-and-jeffrey-epstein|publisher=irantimes.com|access-date=2025-12-30}}</ref>
* In his recent speeches, he has entertained panels of conservatives skeptical of the US-Israel alliance. Al Jazeera<ref>{{cite web|title=Al Jazeera|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/11/israeli-leaders-heap-praise-on-charlie-kirk-as-a-staunch-ally-of-israel|publisher=Al Jazeera|access-date=2025-12-30}}</ref>

===== Weaknesses / assumptions =====
* I assume “changing his views” implies retraction or movement toward criticizing Israel’s fundamental legitimacy or acknowledging genocide.
* There is no evidence of that kind of retraction.

If you want, I can pull up a timeline of his statements to see if there is nuance or drift that might have led someone to believe he changed.
