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.

        At that point, following the holocaust, it didn’t matter what the locals wanted, it was imposed on them regardless.

            Support for Israel was not. Supporting Israel at the expense of any other people was.

              Bro that’s the whole history of israel. Israel should have zero protection against anybody until they go back to pre 67 territory
