Outrage grows over US ambassador's remarks on Israel and the Middle East

There is fresh outrage over U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee's remarks in an interview that Israel could “take it all” when asked about biblical claims to Middle East land. A U.S. Embassy spokesperson on Sunday said his comments were taken out of context and that U.S. policies on Israel have not changed. Huckabee in the interview also said Israel is not trying to seize neighboring lands. A growing group of Arab and Muslim nations is calling his remarks “dangerous and inflammatory.”

US OKs billions in arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia

The Trump administration has approved a massive new series of arms sales to Israel totaling $6.67 billion and to Saudi Arabia worth $9 billion. The State Department announced the sales to America’s allies in the Middle East late Friday as tensions rise in the region over the possibility of U.S. military strikes on Iran. The sales also come as President Donald Trump pushes ahead with his ceasefire plan for Gaza. The Saudi deal is for 730 Patriot missiles and related equipment. The sales to Israel are split into four packages, including one for 30 Apache attack helicopters and related equipment and weapons as well as another for 3,250 light tactical vehicles.
