Arab countries condemn as US envoy Huckabee says it would be ‘fine’ if Israel took all Middle East land: 'Reckless'

Recent comments by US envoy Mike Huckabee, suggesting that it would be 'fine' for Israel to occupy all land in the Middle East, have drawn sharp rebuke from several Arab nations. Saudi Arabia labeled Huckabee's remarks as 'reckless' and 'irresponsible,' emphasizing the need for responsible dialogue in the region. Jordan echoed these sentiments, characterizing the envoy's statements as an 'assault on the sovereignty' of Middle Eastern countries. These reactions underscore the sensitive nature of territorial disputes in the region, particularly in light of ongoing tensions between Israel and its neighbors. The backlash reflects broader concerns over US foreign policy in the Middle East and its perceived biases, as Arab states call for a more balanced approach to peace and stability. The controversy reignites discussions around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the urgent need for diplomatic initiatives that respect the rights and sovereignty of all nations involved.
