US envoy hints Israel could claim a broad slice of the Middle East

The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, told Tucker Carlson it would be “fine” if Israel took control of a large stretch of the Middle East, citing biblical land promises and arguing Israel would focus on protecting its people. Carlson pressed whether Israel should claim areas like Jordan, Syria or Iraq; Huckabee suggested they weren’t aiming for that, but said Israel should at least take land it now occupies. The remarks, seen as a departure from mainstream US policy, drew criticism from the Palestinian Foreign Ministry, and CNN said it had sought comment from the State Department.

Carlson's brief Israel stop yields airport-only interview with Huckabee
