An uproar continued Sunday after the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, said Israel has a right to much of the Middle East, as more Arab and Muslim countries objected and the U.S. said his comments were taken out of context. Huckabee spoke in an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson that aired Friday. Carlson said that according to the Bible, the descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include much of the Middle East, including parts of modern-day Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.

He quoted from Genesis Chapter 15 and asked Huckabee if Israel had a right to that land. A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy said Sunday that Huckabee’s comments were taken out of context and that there is no change to U.S. policies on Israel. In the interview, Huckabee added: “They’re not asking to go back and take all of that, but they are asking to at least take the land that they now occupy, they now live in, they now own legitimately, and it is a safe haven for them.” He added that Israel isn’t trying to take over Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, or Iraq but is trying to protect its own people.

A joint statement Sunday by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Syria, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, the Palestinian Authority and several Arab governing bodies called Huckabee’s remarks “dangerous and inflammatory” and ones that endanger the region’s stability. “These statements directly contradict the vision put forward by U.S. President Donald J.

Trump … based on containing escalation and creating a political horizon for a comprehensive settlement that ensures the Palestinian people have their own independent state,” the statement said. Huckabee, an evangelical Christian and strong supporter of Israel and the West Bank settlement movement, has long opposed the idea of a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinian people. Carlson has been critical of U.S.

support for Israel in the war in Gaza and has come under fire for his own far-right views, including the white-supremacist theory that says whites are being “replaced” by people of color. Meanwhile, tensions are high in Israel as the country prepares for a possible attack from Iran. Iran previously said it will attack both Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East if the United States attacks it.

Trump warned on Friday that limited strikes against Iran are possible, even as the country’s top diplomat said Tehran expects to have a proposed deal ready in the next few days following nuclear talks with the United States. The movements of additional U.S. warships and airplanes to the region, with the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier near the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, don’t guarantee a U.S.

strike on Iran, but they bolster Trump’s ability to carry out one if he chooses. Netanyahu warned last week that if Iran attacks Israel, they will risk a “response that they cannot even imagine.” Israel attacked Iran last year during indirect U.S.-Iran talks, sparking a 12-day war. The United States inserted itself in the war by bombing Iranian nuclear sites. Skip the crowds. Enjoy tailor-made cultural journeys with our trusted licensed guides.

Totally out of context: he only meant to say Israel had the right to cleanse the land from the river to the sea. The "Huckster" stepped in it bigtime…maybe he missed how much MBS has invested with Jared's firm or how much the Qataris have given to Trump's campaign… Your comments are cutting into the MAGA grift Mikey – the original sin in MAGA-world… Keep that up and you'll be joining your fellow evangelical preacher Mike Pence in the unemployment line…

""Carlson said that according to the Bible, the descendants of Abraham would receive land that today would include much of the Middle East, including parts of modern-day Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. He quoted from Genesis Chapter 15 and asked Huckabee if Israel had a right to that land."" The Descendants of Abraham are the Arabs who lived and still live in the middle east regardless of faith many are Christians, and Jews but the majority are Muslims.

These are Abraham children but the Zionists decided that they are the only ones, rewrote the bible and claimed they are the chosen ones and the rest are out. The land of Palestine has hosted all and accepted all faiths, Zionism is NO diff. than Nazism or Apartheid or any Racist ideology that promotes certain race over another and must be defeated. Watched the interview last night TC did a fabulous job exposing Huckabee and his agenda, TC was questioning Huckabee loyalty after that interview.

The other neighbouring countries are a "work in progress "…."flexi borders " as it were. The arabs have the ambition to obliterate the tiny Israel and to massacre its entire population. The arabs have the ambition to obliterate the tiny Israel and to massacre its entire population. Poor Israel….the only nuclear armed , religio fascist apartheid state for white refugees from Europe… Start a war and claim being attacked like the 1948, and 1967 wars, then move into Northern Jordan, southern Lebanon and Syria sparing all 3 capitals for now of course with it's the help of reliable ally.

Netanyahu warned last week that if Iran attacks Israel, they will risk a “response that they cannot even imagine.” Poor Israel….the only nuclear armed , religio fascist apartheid state for white refugees from Europe… Israel is a home for Jews and for Arabs, and is not an apartheid state. The refugees who fled to Israel came from Europe as well as from the Arab countries. That's nice. So when are they going to have a president or prime minister who's an Arab Muslim.

That's nice. So when are they going to have a president or prime minister who's an Arab Muslim. This will happen when the hostilities subside, peace will prevail, and all the people in Israel and throughout the region will live with mutual respect. "That's nice.

Is that the consensus view of the Likud and its ultra-orthodox Zionist allies or just your wishful thinking. Watched the interview last night TC did a fabulous job exposing Huckabee and his agenda, TC was questioning Huckabee loyalty after that interview. That was a great interview. The above article tries to make uckabee sound almost reasonable. Tucker did good job exposing him, and he also managed to say certain things that are widely known but never heard on the MSM.

Is that the consensus view of the Likud and its ultra-orthodox Zionist allies or just your wishful thinking. I always express my own views. However, these views are not "wishful thinking" – they are connected to reality. NB….homework….look at the party names of some, not all, of the Knesset , then look at the public statements of these party leaders. The Arabs have a false consciousness of being the exclusive owners of the land, and they have never been willing to do any compromise.
