US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made an unusual comment this morning (Wednesday) on the statements of European countries against Israel, as well as the decision of France and Britain, as well as a large number of other countries, to recognize a Palestinian state, in a post he posted on the social network X.
“France, Britain, Ireland and Europe criticize Israel,” Huckabee wrote, “but Saudi Arabia, Egypt and even Qatar, which supports Hamas, are exerting justified pressure on the terrorist organization! The hostages will return home and the war in Gaza will end when Hamas listens to Donald Trump’s words: “Hamas has no future in Gaza.”
The ambassador’s post refers to an article published on the New York Post news website, which stated that Arab countries are calling on Hamas to disarm and withdraw from Gaza, in order to end the war with Israel.
This morning it was reported that after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced that they would recognize a Palestinian state, additional countries are expected to make a similar decision at the UN General Assembly in September. Israel’s ambassador to the UN: “These are hollow statements that endanger the hostages and serve terrorism.”
Among the countries that may act in a similar manner are Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Finland, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, San Marino and other countries, some of which have already issued similar recognition in the past, including Spain, Ireland and Norway.
