How Tucker beat Huckabee | The Spectator Australia

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Huckabee is incredibly invested in Israel, but does not show anywhere near the same interest in any other country As things wrap up Carlson expresses a desire to return to Israel someday.
57% : " It becomes apparent that Huckabee is incredibly invested in Israel as a moral and religious project, but does not show anywhere near the same interest in any other country.
47% : But as US Ambassador in Jerusalem, his words carry weight, and what he says in public ought to reflect the position of his government, not Israel's or his particular denomination's.
46% : Carlson shrewdly notes that Genesis 15 not only list lands occupied by the modern state of Israel and the Palestinian territories, but also the entire landmass stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates: a decent chunk of the Middle East. To which Huckabee replies, "It would be fine if [the Israelis] took it all.
45% : Equally disastrous was Huckabee's assertion that, from a "Christian" perspective, the modern nation state of Israel's existence is protected through a covenant with God.
42% : " At a time when Donald Trump, along with his peace envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, are attempting to forge a peace between Israel and the Arab nations, and to rebuild Gaza with support from Muslim countries, it's hard to think of a more foolhardy statement.
41% : All I can say is that if I were an administration official and I'd just seen that interview, and especially if I cared about a renewal of the US-Israel relationship amid rising anti-Semitism and bitter anti-Israel hate on the right (which often takes reasonable grievances to an unjustifiable extreme), I'd be telling the President to consider a replacement.
40% : What's striking to the viewer is how reflexively Huckabee defends Israel, to the extent that one starts to question whether he is an official for the government in Washington or the one in Jerusalem.
36% : Earlier this month, when Tucker Carlson was in Jordan interviewing Levantine Christians, the US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called out the pundit with whom he's been engaged in a public online feud for some time: "Instead of talking ABOUT me, why don't you come talk TO me?
