US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee Claims Biblical Right for Israel to Control Middle East Territories
Mike Huckabee, identified as the US ambassador to Israel, stated in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson that Israel has a biblical right to territories spanning much of the Middle East.
Huckabee said, "If they occupy everything, it's good." He described the Israeli army as "more humane" than the US army and emphasized, "Israel is the land that God gave through Abraham to the people he chose. It was a people, a place, and a purpose."
In response to a question about the specific land, Huckabee referenced, "from the Nile to the Euphrates, which is actually almost the entire Middle East."
The source also notes that Israel's military actions in Palestine and Gaza over recent years have resulted in approximately 70,000 deaths, drawing condemnation from numerous countries as an "overt aggression." The United Nations has condemned the attacks on Gaza and other parts of Palestine as an "act of genocide," and the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over alleged "genocide" in Gaza.
