The backlash against US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee's controversial remarks has intensified, with a coalition of 14 Arab and Muslim-majority nations, including Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, issuing a joint statement condemning his comments as "dangerous and inflammatory." Huckabee suggested in an interview with Tucker Carlson that it would be "fine if [Israel] took it all," referencing biblical claims to land that includes the occupied West Bank. The foreign ministers of the involved nations collectively denounced Huckabee's assertions as a "flagrant violation of international law" and a serious threat to regional stability, emphasizing that such rhetoric undermines diplomatic efforts aimed at a comprehensive political settlement of the Gaza conflict (Business Recorder, February 22, 2026; The Hindu, February 22, 2026).
