Muslim states condemn US envoy over remarks on Israel’s ‘biblical rights’

Mike Huckabee earlier argued that Israel is entitled to control much of the Middle East

Arab and Muslim-majority countries have condemned US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee for arguing that Israel has a biblical right to much of the Middle East.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson released on Friday, Huckabee, a Baptist minister and self-described Christian Zionist, said it “would be fine” if Israel took territory stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.
