Hamas will not survive in the Trump administration’s vision for the future of Gaza, says incoming US ambassador Mike Huckabee.
“As long as Hamas exists, that is a threat to the Israelis,” he says on Fox News. “They want the destruction of the Jewish state.”
“One thing we know is that Hamas is not going to be able to exist,” Huckabee continues. “That’s just a done deal.”
Huckabee endorses US President Donald Trump’s proposal for Gaza, saying he “did something bold.”
“Let’s hope that people will listen to President Trump,” says the former Arkansas governor.
“He’s not thinking outside the box. He throws out the box and says let’s start with a blank slate,” Huckabee continues.
“I think we will achieve something of biblical proportions during this administration in the Middle East,” Huckabee promises.
