state of israel has the compensate to almost the intact midsection e because the Bible says so, the US envoy to West Jerusalem, Mike Huckabee, has told American journalist Tucker Carlson.
Huckabee, a former governor of Arkansas, was appointed ambassador to Israel by US President Donald Trump in April 2025. The 70-year-old politician and diplomat is also a Baptist minister and a self-declared Christian Zionist.
In an interview released on Friday, the envoy explained to Carlson that “a Zionist simply means a person, who believes that the Jewish people have a right to have a homeland where they have security and safety; who believe that the Jews have a right to live in Israel.”
“Israel’s right to exist comes from the Bible... [it] is a land that God gave through Abraham to a people that he chose,” Huckabee explained.
Carlson pointed out that, according to the Book of Genesis, the territory offered by God to the Hebrew patriarch stretched “from the Euphrates to the Nile.”
“That would include basically the entire Middle East. That would be the Levant. So, that would be Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon. It would also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq,” he said.
Carlson asked if that meant that “Israel has the right to that land? Because you’re appealing to the Genesis. You’re saying that’s the original deed?”
“It would be fine if they took it all. But I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about here today,” Huckabee replied.
Israel has been expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank in contravention of international law. In addition to the war in Gaza, which, according to the Gazan Health Ministry, has left more than 72,000 people dead since October 2023 in the enclave, over the past two and a half years Israel has also attacked Iran, carried out a military operation in Lebanon, occupied parts of southwestern Syria, and struck targets in Yemen.
