Mike Huckabee asserts Israel will dictate the war's conclusion

In a recent appearance on Fox News Channel's 'Jesse Watters Primetime,' Mike Huckabee, the incoming U.S. Ambassador to Israel, made strong remarks regarding the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly focusing on how the war will come to a conclusion. Huckabee pointed out that while both Hamas and Hezbollah are financed by Iran, and that the Biden administration had empowered Iran financially, he emphasized that the responsibility for deciding how to conclude the war rests solely with Israel. He attributed the initial attacks on Israel to Hezbollah, clarifying that these hostilities began on October 8, shortly after a massacre near Gaza. Huckabee insisted that any war initiated against Israel allows Israel to choose its own response and resolution, distancing the decision-making from external influences such as Iran, the United Nations, or the United States. This statement reflects the broader geopolitical tensions in the region and underscores Israel's autonomy in shaping its military and diplomatic approach to the situation.
