In a breathtaking exchange with Tucker Carlson, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee He openly presented Israeli territorial claims in biblical terms – suggesting that the judaic state has a divine mandate practically over the full region.
When asked if a passage of Genesis could be read as giving Israel the right to claim rights from the full area between the Egyptian Nile and the Syrian Euphrates, Huckabee did not defend himself. He said it would be all right if Israel and his troops took over the full mediate East.. The full interview can be read here:

"It would be good if they took everything," Huckabee, erstwhile pastor of confederate Baptist and formerly politician of Arkansas, made it clear. This led to a broad discussion and discussion about whether the modern nation state of Israel, officially established as a sovereign government on 14 May 1948, was synonymous with Israel described in the Old Testament, dating back thousands of years.
Here's how this controversial part of intelligence went, according to transcription and comment:
Huckabee was asked in an interview with American conservative commentator Tucker Carlson about his knowing of the biblical verse suggesting that lands covering parts of Egypt, Syria, and Iraq were divinely promised to the judaic nation.
Carlson said that according to the Old Testament the boundaries would include "the practically full mediate East."
He continued: "Is Israel entitled to this land?".
"I'm not certain we'll go that far," Huckabee replied. "That would be a large part of land."
Carlson then pressed, "Is Israel entitled to this land?"
"It would be good if they took everything," He answered Huckabee and then added: "I don't think we're talking about this today."
Carlson asked: "Do you think it would be all right if the State of Israel took over Jordan?"
Then Ambassador Huckabee had to realize that he was entering the hot diplomatic waters, which would surely upset the arabian allies of Washington in the region.
"They're not trying to take over Jordan. They're not trying to take over Syria. They are not trying to take control of Iraq or anywhere else, but they want to defend their nation," Huckabee replied. It should be noted that the Israeli army has indeed invaded confederate Syria and occupies areas just a twelve miles from Damascus.
"I think you're missing something due to the fact that they're not asking to come back for all this, but they're asking for at least the land they're occupying now, where they live now, which they now legally own and which is simply a safe haven for them," Huckabee added.
Huckabee on Saturday, the day after an interview with Carlson, released a comprehensive explanation of his statements, accusing erstwhile Fox programmer of twisting words and leading bad will and attacks.
Many passages of this uncommon interview will surely trigger a lasting debate. Huckabee supporters tend to specify all critics of Israeli politics as "anti-Semitic" – while Tel Aviv critics emphasize that being other to political Zionism does not mean anti-Jewish in any way.
