"Mike Huckabee said Israel would be fine to take control of territory stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates during a tense exchange with Tucker Carlson as the host grilled him on his biblical justification for the country's territory. Speaking on The Tucker Carlson Show on Friday, Huckabee was pressed repeatedly on the biblical boundaries he cited as divinely promised to the Jewish people as the host asked him what land specifically he was talking about,"
"You have said it three times that God gave this land to this people and so it is entirely fair for me with respect to ask what land are you talking about because I just read Genesis 15, as I have many times, and that land I think it says from the Nile to the Euphrates, which is once again basically the entire Middle East."
Mike Huckabee affirmed that Israel would be fine to take control of territory from the Nile to the Euphrates. The exchange occurred during an interview in which Tucker Carlson repeatedly pressed Huckabee on biblical boundaries cited in Genesis 15. The Genesis passage referenced describes land extending from the Nile to the Euphrates, a description that overlaps many modern Middle Eastern states. The idea aligns with the expansionist concept of a Greater Israel encompassing parts of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Palestinian territories. Huckabee said such full control would be "fine" but suggested that full annexation was not the immediate topic.
