US Ambassador Huckabee's Israel Expansion Comments Condemned by Arab Nations
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee's support for Israeli territorial expansion drew swift condemnation from Arab and Muslim nations, including Nigeria as an OIC member. Huckabee, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, suggested Israel could take land from the Nile to Euphrates, including parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Arab states called this 'dangerous and irresponsible,' warning it violates international law and UN resolutions. The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) described the remarks as an 'unacceptable call for expansion' that threatens regional security. Egypt called it a 'blatant violation' of international law, while Saudi Arabia demanded US clarification. Nigeria, as an OIC member, aligns with this condemnation, emphasizing the need to uphold sovereignty and prevent escalation. No US or Israeli response has been issued yet.
