U.S. Ambassador: Israel Did Not Engineer Spain-Morocco Migrant Crisis
(Jerusalem Post) James Genn - U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee dismissed conspiracy theories that claim Israel and the U.S. are behind the migrant crisis at the Moroccan-Spanish border in Ceuta, during an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan broadcast on Monday. "It's ridiculous to say that somehow this is a U.S.-Israel conspiracy and that's why all those young men flooded to the coast; it's nonsense. Everything that seems to happen on earth, somebody has this nutty idea that it must be Israel and/or the U.S. who would be behind it." Asked if he thinks Israel can do a deal with Hamas, Huckabee said Hamas were "proud" of what they did during the Oct. 7 massacre, highlighted by how they "strapped GoPro cameras to their heads, and videotaped themselves raping, slaughtering, beheading, butchering, massacring women, children, and elderly people....They boasted about it online, in phone calls, on the video tape that they shot." "It would be a wonderful gift to the world if Hamas did not have weapons, because if they have them, they're just nutty enough to want to use them to slaughter people, particularly civilians and innocent people....President Trump said repeatedly that Hamas has no future in Gaza," adding that accepting Hamas as the governing body in Gaza would be like asking the Nazis to continue to run Germany after World War II. Huckabee denied allegations that Trump's decisions vis-a-vis striking Iran were guided by Israeli policy or requests from Israeli leadership. "I was in the Situation Room....I disagree with any narrative that says that the Israelis talked Donald Trump into it. That simply did not happen. Nobody talked him into anything....It was based on the fact that for over 47 years, Iran has been saying 'death to America.'"
