New Delhi, Feb. 22 -- US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has said that Israel has a biblical right to take over the entire Middle East. He made the remarks during an interview with US journalist Tucker Carlson. "It would be fine if they took it all," Huckabee told Carlson. Huckabee, before being appointed US ambassador to Israel, was the governor of the US state of Arkansas. During his interview, he discussed the Old Testament and the US Christian nationalist movement with Carlson. Carlson asked Huckabee about a biblical verse in which God promises Abraham that his descendants will receive land "from the wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates - the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites". Carlson pointed out that this area in modern geography would include "like, basically the entire Middle East". "The Levant . Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon - it'd also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq," Carlson said. Huckabee said: "I'm not sure it would go that far, but it would be a big piece of land." He added: "Israel is a land that God gave, through Abraham, to a people that he chose. It was a people, a place and a purpose." He said: "It would be fine if they took it all." Carlson previously hosted a nightly political talk show on the right-wing Fox News before he left in 2023 to host his own podcast, has increasingly questioned US support of Israel, moving him from the centre to the fringe of the Maga movement....
