US Envoy Huckabee Supports Israel's Expansion Based on Biblical Rights
US envoy Mike Huckabee has expressed support for Israel's expansion across the Middle East, stating it would be 'fine' if Israel took all land from the Nile to the Euphrates, citing biblical rights. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Huckabee emphasized that Israel has a biblical claim to land encompassing modern-day Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq, based on Old Testament scripture. Huckabee, a Christian Zionist and staunch supporter of Israel, suggested that Israel's right to these territories is rooted in biblical promises to Abraham, though he later described his statement as hyperbolic. He defended Israel's right to exist and expand, criticizing international legal institutions like the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice for their opposition to Israeli actions. Huckabee also discussed Israel's territorial claims, including occupation of the Golan Heights and military outposts in Lebanon, and highlighted political figures advocating for a 'Greater Israel.' His comments come amid ongoing debates about Israel's borders, international law, and regional conflicts. Huckabee has faced criticism for his pro-Israel stance, including his meetings with controversial figures like convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, and his opposition to international legal rulings against Israel.
