According to reports from Palestine News Agency ‘Wafa’, the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement reacting to remarks made by Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador in Tel Aviv, concerning the ‘biblical right’ of Israel to occupy all of West Asia from the Nile to the Euphrates.<\/p>\n
The statement emphasized that such claims are inconsistent with religious, historical facts, and international law, directly contradicting former President Donald Trump’s stance against the annexation of the West Bank.Furthermore, the statement described these provocative and rejected assertions as a blatant invitation to violate national sovereignty and support the occupying regime’s continuation of genocide and racist annexation schemes against the Palestinian people. It also reiterated the global community’s opposition, affirming that Gaza and the West Bank, particularly East Jerusalem, are recognized as occupied Palestinian territories under international law.<\/p>\n
The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called for a clear and transparent position from the US government regarding the Ambassador’s statements, noting that these claims are at odds with Trump’s previous commitments to peace in the Middle East, cessation of war and violence, and opposition to the annexation of the West Bank.In an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson Mike Huckabee claimed that ‘Israel has the right to territories extending from the Nile River to the Euphrates River.’ Huckabee represents a traditional conservative faction that strongly supports Israel particularly within right-wing evangelical circles in the US.<\/p>\n
These statements illustrate the growing overlap between religious discourse and US foreign policy especially concerning Israel while highlighting the internal divisions within the American right regarding the nature and limits of support for Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
