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.

    You’re part of the problem.

    Says the guy with the flag of Russia on his name. My irony detector went supernova.

    But hey, props to you for not hiding it like many others here do.

      I’m part of the problem because I don’t succumb to hysteria?

      That’s how far gone you people are. Rationality is lost on you and your peers.
