US envoy Huckabee backtracks after controversial comments on Israel's borders
Just read about US Ambassador Mike Huckabee causing major controversy with his Bible-based comments on Israel's borders. He told Tucker Carlson it'd be 'fine if they took it all'-referring to territory from Egypt to Iraq-then claimed his remarks were edited and taken out of context. The Arab League and Saudi Arabia condemned it, and rights groups are calling for his removal, saying this damages US credibility. Huckabee later called it 'hyperbolic' but still left room for Israeli expansion if they 'win that war.' The US State Department hasn't commented yet. This is definitely escalating tensions in the region.
