US ambassador to Israel makes joke about staff during conflict

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee faced backlash after sending a memo to embassy staff joking about the possibility of new children within nine months as they shelter in place due to ongoing conflict with Iran. The memo came as the U.S. Embassy warned Americans in Israel that their safety could not be guaranteed amid escalating violence, including airstrikes and missile attacks. Eleven people in Israel have been killed since the conflict began, prompting the U.S. to authorize evacuations for non-emergency personnel in several Middle Eastern countries.
