Palestinians are nervous as Mike Huckabee is named ambassador to Israel

Danny Danon praised Huckabee, stating, "I think he will be a great ambassador to Israel," highlighting Huckabee's extensive knowledge of the region and its complexities.

Huckabee expressed his connection to Israel, saying, "This is an extraordinary opportunity to represent my country to a land that I have loved since I first visited there in July of 1973."

Huckabee's controversial statements raise concerns among Palestinians who fear for their aspirations for a Palestinian state, particularly with remarks like, "There’s no such thing as a Palestinian."

Huckabee categorically rejects terminology like "West Bank," asserting, "There is no such thing as a West Bank. It's Judea and Samaria," which signifies his strong pro-Israel stance.
