U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is questioning whether the Board of Peace can deliver on President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza without more planning and resources from the U.S. government, according to a cable the embassy sent to State Department leadership Thursday that was obtained by POLITICO. The cable, which has not been previously reported, was signed by Huckabee and voiced concern that neither the organization nor the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem have the personnel to move forward with plans to disarm and rebuild the Palestinian enclave. Huckabee’s questions focus on whether the main hub set up to coordinate between the U.S., Israel and international partners — the International Gaza Support Center — will be able to sustain operations after the Pentagon draws down its personnel as planned over the next year, according to the cable.

3 weeks ago - In February, Huckabee was interviewed by Tucker Carlson, who asked about the claims of Greater Israel advocates who believe that the biblically sanctioned borders of the Jewish state extend from “from the river of Egypt until the great river, the Euphrates,” which means “basically the entire Middle East.” Huckabee responded, “It would be fine if they [Israel] took it all.” Huckabee’s remarks were condemned in a joint statement by virtually every state in the region other than Israel, including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, and Syria. The statement described Huckabee’s remarks as “dangerous and inflammatory,” a “flagrant violation of the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations,” and “a grave threat to the security and stability of the region.” ...

Mike Huckabee first traveled to Israel as a teenager in 1973, on the eve of the Yom Kippur War, he felt immediately at home. “And let me be very clear, it wasn’t because at that time Israel was a wonderfully developed and progressive nation. It was a sleepy little country with horrible roads and bad cars and not much industry,” Huckabee told Bishop Paul Lanier on the Nourish Your Biblical Ro

February 22, 2026 - Arab and Muslim governments have condemned remarks made by the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who suggested Israel would be justified in taking over a vast stretch of the Middle East on Biblical grounds.

July 30, 2025 - “If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I’ve got a suggestion for them: carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state. They’re welcome to do that,” Huckabee said. “But they’re not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation.” He concluded that the US would not participate in “such a ruse.” It is not unusual for politicians to change their tone depending on their audience. But to suggest, even in jest, Palestinian ethnic cleansing — asking France to relocate an entire people — simply because a permanent member of the UN Security Council decided to end a blatant double standard is appalling. The US, which was the first country to recognize Israel in May 1948, continues to repeat its support for a two-state solution. But now, with France and Saudi Arabia this week co-chairing a meeting aimed at advancing that very goal, Washington has pulled back — while its envoy to Israel floats ideas that amount to war crimes.

June 12, 2020 - The country neighbouring the West Bank, however, is Jordan which has a peace treaty with Israel. Rejecting the use of the words “West Bank”, Huckabee said it should be called “Judea and Samaria”, adding: “I don’t see it as occupied, that makes it appear as if someone is illegally taking land. I don’t see it that way.” · He went on: “In America, we have about a 400-year relationship to Manhattan. It would be as if I came and said we need to end our occupation of Manhattan. I’m pretty sure most Americans would find that laughable.” · Asked about what his policies would mean for Palestinians in the single state he was advocating, Huckabee dodged the question. He also stood by his comments made in an interview with the conservative website Breitbart last month, in which he said Barack Obama’s support for the Iranian nuclear deal would “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven”, words that were criticised in Israel as well as the US.

March 26, 2026 - Carlson rightly noted that the wider promise in Genesis 15 described a land that included Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, and even Iraq. Huckabee knew this, but avoided responding until he said, “It would be fine if they [Israel] took it all.” In ...
