Arab and Muslim Nations Respond to U.S. Envoy’s Statement on Israel’s Claim to Regional Land
Fourteen Arab and Muslim states plus three regional groups condemned Huckabee’s remarks as violations of international law and threats to regional security and peace efforts.
- On Sunday, the foreign ministers of Arab and Islamic countries and three regional organisations jointly condemned U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee's Friday interview remarks, including his line, `It would be fine if they took it all.`
- On Friday, Carlson pressed Huckabee about a biblical passage describing land from the Nile to the Euphrates, with Huckabee answering within the Christian Zionist framework.
- Foreign ministers from 14 countries and three organisations called Huckabee's remarks "dangerous and inflammatory," said they violated international law, and reaffirmed Israel has no sovereignty over the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
- Several Arab and Islamic governments demanded clarification after a U.S. Embassy spokesperson said Huckabee's comments were taken out of context and Iran's Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. of revealing "American active complicity."
- Amid ongoing disputes over West Bank and Gaza, ministers warned such rhetoric risks inflaming violence and undermining de-escalation ahead of upcoming U.S.-Iran talks in Geneva on Thursday.
