US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee responded to President Trump’s claim during a meeting with Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Tuesday that without him, there would be no Israel.
Speaking at the International Conference on Israeli Heritage in Yehuda and Shomron on Tuesday, Huckabee said: “This is just another reminder that it is your heritage, without a doubt, but it is also the heritage of the United States.”
“Without Israel, without the Jewish foundation, there would not be an America. We owe our very existence to what happened in this land.”
Mosab Hassan Yousef, the “Green Prince,” also known as the “Son of Hamas,” stated on Wednesday: “Trump was repeatedly warned, by his own generals, intelligence services, and allies, about the real cost and complexity of this war.
“He chose to ignore those warnings, rushed in, mismanaged the campaign, and eventually signed a humiliating deal.
“Blaming others for the outcome of your own decisions is both unfair and beneath the office of the President.”
On Tuesday, he responded to Trump’s criticism of Israel’s battle against Hezbollah, writing: “The pager operation against Hezbollah was a masterpiece of modern warfare. Israel also executed a brilliant 12-day operation against Iran that left the regime in shock, its top generals assassinated, and the Ayatollahs held by the throat.
“Yet every time Israel had momentum, whether in Gaza, Lebanon, or against Iran, you personally intervened and stopped them at the worst possible moment.
“You were personally briefed by Mossad that defeating Iran would take at least a year of consistent pressure. Yet you pushed for quick results, changed the original plan, and turned what could have been a strategic victory into a strategic defeat.
“Now, after signing a humiliating deal that buried the Iranian nuclear threat instead of eliminating it, you come out blaming Israel for taking too long and for how it fights. The question of civilian casualties should be addressed to Hezbollah, not Israel. Hezbollah deliberately operates from within populated civilian areas, using civilians as human shields and endangering their own people.
“This strategic failure is not due to Israeli incompetence. The main problem has been your repeated intervention and bad timing. You don’t get to sabotage the campaign and then blame Israel for the results.”
He also addressed the capitulation of the Gulf states to Iran’s threats, writing: “The UAE has already paid Iran $3 billion, with up to $20 billion total, just to stop Iranian attacks on its territory.
“This is protection money.
“Iran is already demonstrating that it is the new regional power, charging countries just for being left alone.”

He spoke well but he does not realize it’s not Trump making decisions. Everything a leader says is put in his mouth by Heaven. Why because the Zionist declared war against Heaven by allowing and supporting gay parades in all of the holy land and thus the tide has turned against them worldwide. How right the warnings of the Satmar rebbe has been years ago.
