Arab countries and countries with a Muslim majority condemned US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee for claiming that Israel has a biblical right to a large part of the mediate East.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, published on Friday, Huckabee, Baptist pastor and self-appointed Christian Zionist, said that ‘it would be fine’, if Israel had occupied territory extending from the Nile to the Euphrates.
He later added that Israel is not seeking to grow its territory and has the right to safeguard itself.
The League of arabian States, a coalition of 22 associate States, condemned these comments as ‘highly extremist’, claiming that they are "not compatible with basic principles and standards of diplomacy".
"This kind of statements – extremist and without solid foundations – only service to fuel the moods and inflame spiritual and national emotions at a time erstwhile countries are gathering within the Peace Council to research ways to implement the peace agreement in Gaza" said Gamal Roshdy, spokesperson for arabian League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit.
The Organisation for muslim Cooperation, which brings together 57 countries with a Muslim majority, issued a akin statement, informing that specified "dangerous and irresponsible" Remarks "saturate extremist ideological rhetoric" and encourage Israel to ‘annuction’ Palestinian territory.
The Jordan Ministry of abroad Affairs stated that ‘absurd and provocative’ Huckabe's statements violate diplomatic standards and the United Nations Charter.
Egypt has defined these statements as ‘dangerous departure’ from global law and UN rules.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, United arabian Emirates, Lebanon, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia and the Palestinian Authority besides condemned the U.S. envoy for questioning global peace and security.
Israel maintains military control over parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as confederate Lebanon and south-west Syria.
At the beginning of this month, the Israeli safety office approved the plan to consider large areas of the West Bank as ‘State ownership’, for the first time since the 1967 Six Day War.
Muslim countries condemned this step and called on the global community to take "clear and decisive steps" against Israel.
