US Ambassador Mike Huckabee has poured gasoline on a region already in flames. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, he invoked Genesis 15 to argue that modern Israel is entitled to territory stretching "from the Nile to the Euphrates." When Carlson pressed Huckabee about the implications-asking, "does Israel have a right to that land"-Huckabee clearly responded, "it would be fine if they took it all."
