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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
