Ambassador Mike Huckabee on the Importance of Middle East Maps
Ambassador Mike Huckabee emphasized the significance of a detailed Middle East map to comprehend the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict fully. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Tuesday, he explained that visualizing territorial claims is crucial to grasping the core issues.
Perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
When asked about the U.S. perspective on the ultimate goal of the conflict, Huckabee pointed out that many Palestinians seek a land map excluding Israel, often referencing the phrase "from the river to the sea."
He stated, "The end goal, as I see it, is for Israel to have a secure sliver of land where they can live peacefully. The calls to eliminate Israel, such as from the river to the sea, essentially mean eradicating the Jewish state."
The Significance of Maps and Historical Context
Huckabee shared that in his office, he keeps a map from a Gaza classroom—used by Hamas students—showing only a Palestinian territory, with no Israel depicted. This reflects the widespread aspiration among some to eliminate Israel entirely.
