Mike Huckabee suggested any future Palestinian state should be carved out of ‘a Muslim country’

Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, has said that the US is no longer pursuing the goal of an independent Palestinian state, marking what analysts describe as the most explicit abandonment yet of a cornerstone of US Middle East diplomacy.

Asked during an interview with Bloomberg News if a Palestinian state remains a goal of US policy, he replied: “I don’t think so.”

The former Arkansas governor chosen by Donald Trump as his envoy to Israel went further by suggesting that any future Palestinian entity could be carved out of “a Muslim country” rather than requiring Israel to cede territory.

    Honestly atrocious is the kindest way I could phrase how terrible his actions are.

    I’m not sure how to even respond to someone who is trying to carry water for him either.

          No, no it was not. As I’ve already said, Israel’s retaliation started immediately on 10/7 before we approved a single dime of aid, much less sent any. They don’t NEED our help. They’ll USE it, but they don’t NEED it.

            Israel is always getting aid, even more under Biden.

            Then notice the continue part mate.

            Also who do you think is keeping the un or any other countries from going in to stop Israel?
