Huckabee suggests Muslim countries should give up land for Palestinian state

The US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has suggested "Muslim countries" should give up some of their land to create a future Palestinian state.

In an interview with the BBC, Huckabee said "Muslim countries have 644 times the amount of land that are controlled by Israel".

"So maybe, if there is such a desire for the Palestinian state, there would be someone who would say, we'd like to host it," he said.

The ambassador also called a two-state solution - a proposed formula for peace between Israel and the Palestinians that has generally received international backing, including from multiple US administrations - "an aspirational goal".

4. Peace Now lambastes US envoy's comments on Palestinian state:

Trying to ‘realize his religious fantasies’

The dovish Peace Now organization lambastes US Ambassador Mike Huckabee over his comments that the US no longer fully supports the establishment of a Palestinian State, accusing him of seeking to “realize his religious fantasies,” in reference to his strong association with the Evangelical movement.

“After intervening in internal Israeli politics yesterday, today Mike Huckabee turned himself into the spokesperson for [Bezalel] Smotrich and [Orit] Strok,” Peace Now, which advocates for a two-state solution, says in response to the ambassador’s comments, as well as his reported efforts on Monday to stop the ultra-Orthodox parties voting to dissolve the Knesset.

“This is not an ambassador, this is an Evangelist who is dreaming of the war of Gog and Magog in the Middle East in order to realize his religious fantasies,” continues the organization in reference to Biblical prophecies about the end of days.
