Huckabee Suggests Separate Divine Covenants With Christians and Jews After Tucker Carlson Fallout

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has responded to the lingering theological fallout from his recent interview with Tucker Carlson by asserting that two separate divine covenants exist — one with Christians and one with Jews — a position rooted in dispensationalist theology. The claim attempts to reconcile evangelical support for Israel with Carlson's pointed questioning about the theological basis for Christian Zionism. The exchange has exposed a fault line within conservative Christianity between dispensationalists who view modern Israel as central to biblical prophecy and those who hold to covenant theology, which sees the church as the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. Huckabee's dual-covenant framework, while popular among some evangelicals, is rejected by orthodox Christian theology across most traditions as undermining the sufficiency of Christ's work on the cross.
