Huckabee's Expansive Biblical Land Claims for Israel Draw Joint Condemnation From Arab and Islamic Nations

Arab and Islamic governments issued a joint statement condemning remarks by U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who suggested on Tucker Carlson's podcast that Israel has a biblical right to a vast swath of the Middle East. The condemnation adds an international diplomatic dimension to a widening rift within the Republican Party over Israel, as Carlson's Christian nationalist wing views the U.S.-Israel alliance with growing suspicion while Huckabee represents an older evangelical establishment that sees the relationship as biblically sacrosanct.
