Committee on Church Affairs Issues Warning Regarding Mike Huckabee’s Statements

The Committee on Church Affairs in Palestine has responded to remarks made by Mike Huckabee the U.S. Ambassador to Israel concerning the sovereignty of the occupying regime over Arab lands. The committee asserts that justifying the policies of the Israeli occupying regime using religious language and references constitutes a dangerous deviation that contradicts efforts aimed at achieving peace.

Furthermore the committee emphasizes that the denial of the rights of the Palestinian people directly threatens the historical presence of Christians in the land of Palestine. This denial undermines the religious and cultural diversity of the region.
