US Ambassador Mike Huckabee defended President Donald Trump’s stance on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling it “stronger than ever” between the US and Israeli governments. Huckabee rejected claims that Trump had broken with Netanyahu over the issue, saying their relationship remains strong. The comments come after Trump acknowledged “real starvation” in Gaza, contradicting Netanyahu’s denial of a hunger crisis. A UN-backed report warned of a “worst-case scenario of famine.” Trump vowed to work with European allies to establish food centers in Gaza despite not recognizing a Palestinian state. Huckabee criticized European leaders’ decision as “foolish,” arguing it supports Hamas leaders and hampers the peace process.
