In a statement reported by the Palestinian news agency ‘Wafa’, the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted to remarks made by U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee in Tel Aviv. Huckabee claimed that Israel has a ‘biblical right’ to seize all of West Asia from the Nile to the Euphrates.<\/p>\n
The ministry’s statement emphasized that such assertions contradict religious, historical facts, and international law, opposing the stance previously taken by former President Donald Trump regarding the annexation of the West Bank.Furthermore, the statement described Huckabee’s comments as provocative and unacceptable, signaling a blatant invitation to violate the sovereignty of nations and support the occupying regime in perpetuating genocide and implementing racist annexation and expansion plans against the Palestinian people. The global community has consistently opposed these views, affirming that Gaza, the West Bank, and especially East Jerusalem are recognized as occupied Palestinian territories under international law.<\/p>\n
The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also called for a clear and transparent stance from the U.S. government regarding the ambassador’s remarks, noting that they contradict Trump’s statements about establishing peace in the Middle East, halting war and violence, and opposing the annexation of the West Bank.In an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson Mike Huckabee asserted that ‘Israel has the right to territories stretching from the Nile River to the Euphrates River.’<\/p>\n
Huckabee represents a traditional conservative faction that strongly supports the Israeli regime particularly among right-wing evangelical circles in the United States.<\/p>\n
According to Al Jazeera these statements reflect an increasing overlap between religious discourse and U.S. foreign policy especially concerning Israel while also highlighting internal disagreements within the American right regarding the nature and limits of support for Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
