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.

      Could Israel flatten all of Gaza with sniper bullets?

      Have you seen any actual combat footage from Gaza which is not American F35 planes dropping 2000 pound bombs on tents? There is good reason Israel does not dare to do anything except bomb from the sky.

        Love that his argument keeps going between Biden was just old and raised that way, he couldn’t do anything since it was established usa policy, and it’s just usa doing proxy war against Iran so of course they need to support the genocide.

        All to keep Bidens image clean.

        Nope, but they don’t need to do that for a genocide either. It started when they began blocking food and medical supplies in the 90s.

          Wow interesting you sure know a lot about history. Especially all the stuff which somehow makes it not Biden his fault that Israel was committing a full scale genocide which started during his term according to even Wikipedia.

          Remind me who was advocating for Israel back in the 90s

            US support for Israel didn’t start in the 90s. Every US President has supported them since the 40s.

            The most hilarous one was George W. Bush:

            “We have to invade Iraq because they are in violation of 17 UN Resolutions!”

            “Israel is in violation of over 80 of them in the West Bank and Gaza, it would be over 100 except for our resolution veto power, what about them?”

            “. . .”
