Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, has stated that the pursuit of an independent Palestinian state is no longer a goal of US policy. This statement marks a significant shift in US diplomacy in the Middle East, suggesting that any future Palestinian entity may need to derive from existing Muslim nations rather than Israel ceding land. Analysts interpret this as a clear indication of the Trump administration's departure from traditional two-state solution efforts, further indicating a commitment to policies that undermine Palestinian rights and aspirations in the region.
When pressed on Palestinian aspirations in the West Bank, Huckabee employed Israeli government terminology, asking: Does it have to be in Judea and Samaria?
This is an administration that is committed to Palestinian erasure, both physical and political, Elgindy said.
I don't think so. Huckabee was quoted as saying about the possibility of a Palestinian state.
Those probably won't happen in our lifetime, he told the news agency.
