Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee denounces French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot’s call on Israel to halt strikes on Lebanon, noting that Hezbollah continues to launch attacks on Israel.
“French FM said Israel needs to stop strikes on Hezbollah. Does France get all its info from Hezbollah? Last night, Israel had 4 of its soldiers killed,” Huckabee writes on X.
