Mike Huckabee suggested any future Palestinian state should be carved out of ‘a Muslim country’

Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, has said that the US is no longer pursuing the goal of an independent Palestinian state, marking what analysts describe as the most explicit abandonment yet of a cornerstone of US Middle East diplomacy.

Asked during an interview with Bloomberg News if a Palestinian state remains a goal of US policy, he replied: “I don’t think so.”

The former Arkansas governor chosen by Donald Trump as his envoy to Israel went further by suggesting that any future Palestinian entity could be carved out of “a Muslim country” rather than requiring Israel to cede territory.

    As a lib I am deeply ashamed that we have missed a historic opportunity of electing a black woman to unquestioningly, unequivocally and fully support the destruction of Palestine all the while lying about “working round the clock to stop the Israel-Hamas war”.

      Well, you got a orange man who wants to accelerate the destruction, ethnically cleanse the population and build a hotel on the ashes. At least he’s too dumb to lie about it. Yay?

            For one stop, believing the USA without thinking before

            The USA been voted no to UN resolutions to recognize a Palestinian independent state since 1974.

            I prefer an honest scum who say we oppose a two state solution or any other type of solution than a hypocrite scum who claim to want one

                I’m not from the usa. Go join riots against trump instead of defending all the other presidents who support israel unconditionally just like him

                  You don’t need to be to feel the effects of trump. Ask those Palestinians that will now be ethnically cleansed.
