In an interview on the Tucker Carlson Show, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee expressed that he believes Israel could claim extensive territory based on biblical interpretations, though he clarified that Israel is not currently pursuing this. His comments drew strong criticism from Arab leaders, with Jordan’s Foreign Ministry calling them “absurd and provocative,” and Egypt labeling them a “blatant violation” of diplomatic norms. Huckabee insisted that Israel only seeks to protect its existing territory, not to expand into neighboring countries. The Arab League’s secretary-general stated Huckabee’s remarks contradict longstanding US policies, prompting calls for a clear response from the Trump administration.
