US ambassador to Israel says had ‘rough’ night amid strikes
Mike Huckabee says he had to go to shelters five times overnight amid Iran’s missile barrage. “It’s now Shabbat here. Should be quiet. Probably won’t be. Entire nation under orders to stay near shelter,” the US ambassador to Israel posted on X.
Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israel who has said there’s “no such thing” as the West Bank, said earlier this week that he the prospect of Israel launching a strike against Iran without US approval or coordination was unlikely.
“I just don’t in my mind see that that would be something that would likely happen because of the closeness of the relationship and the trust, and that’s the word I would emphasise – there is a trust between the US and Israel,” he told Israeli news outlet Ynet.
“I often say: we have friends, we have allies, but we only have one partner, Israel, and when I say that, I don’t mean that we don’t have deep relationships with other countries,” Huckabee said.
“But there isn’t really any country with which we have the level of sharing on intelligence, military hardware, strategy, common goals – in large measure because we share a common foundation of a civilization based on the Judeo-Christian worldview.”
Poor US, only 'partner' left is Israel, and what friends do you still have? Trump burned all your bridges.
Anyway, how much more proof does anyone need to call this the US-Israel war on Iran. US is deeply involved. The US is at war with Iran.
