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.
It’s not 49%. The split in 2024 was 1/3 R, 1/3 D, 1/3 didn’t vote, and ~1% 3rd party.
As the other commenter said, it’s a much fewer percentage of the population that sways those 1/3s either in the favor of R or D.
And you’d think Democrats would have chased after the 1/3 that sat at home instead of Rs, but we all know what actually happened
