Afghanistan, Feb. 21 -- The U.S. ambassador to Israel said broader Israeli expansion across the Middle East "would be good," citing biblical claims to disputed lands.
Mike Huckabee said in a televised interview that if Israel were to expand across the region, it "would be good," and he would have no objection to such a development.
Speaking to Tucker Carlson, Huckabee argued that Israel has a biblical right to lands between the Nile and the Euphrates rivers, describing them as divinely promised to the Jewish people.
He said Israel was a land granted by God through Abraham to a chosen people, calling it "one people, one place and one purpose," and framed his remarks around religious and historical narratives.
