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.'

- 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.
