Mike Huckabee suggested any future Palestinian state should be carved out of ‘a Muslim country’
Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, has said that the US is no longer pursuing the goal of an independent Palestinian state, marking what analysts describe as the most explicit abandonment yet of a cornerstone of US Middle East diplomacy.
Asked during an interview with Bloomberg News if a Palestinian state remains a goal of US policy, he replied: “I don’t think so.”
The former Arkansas governor chosen by Donald Trump as his envoy to Israel went further by suggesting that any future Palestinian entity could be carved out of “a Muslim country” rather than requiring Israel to cede territory.

No one had the honesty or will to do it on easy mode. Child labor and slave fishers and mass natural wealth extraction for little gain is not only still going on, the world over. Sometimes in slow news cycles, the corporate media will toss out a reminder story, people may call their reps and do a little clicktivism for a month, then go back to trying to survive on less hours, for less pay, and working multiple jobs, then being surprised that now 70-80% of the population can’t make ends meet while shopping groceries on pay-over-time schemes.
In short, the fire under our collective butt isn’t hot enough to motivate us, yet.
