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.

    “Not actively pressuring” is far different from “actively encouraging”.

    If you listen to the edgy teenagers you’d think Biden was out there pulling the trigger himself and that absolutely was not the case.

    But then they’re of the co-hort that anything bad that happens is automatically the fault of the US.

    Why do the Democrats fight for Israel? Same reason the Republicans do… MONEY. It’s all about money, always has been.
