On Friday's broadcast of Fox Business Network's “Berney & Company,” Mike Huckabee, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. ambassador to Israel, said Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies are interested in peace. “I don't think we have that idea,'' he said. Peace will only come when they are eradicated, when they are suppressed. That's why I think the Israeli prime minister accepted the agreement, which contains very clear terms that if violated, all bets are off and Israel will immediately take control of the agreement. Back to the effort, that was it. they will have to do it. ”
Huckabee said.[T]When we had this conversation the other day, I said it was like asking a 400-pound man to guard a dessert buffet. It probably won't end well. And I seriously predicted that Hezbollah would not abide by the agreement. they never do. None of these Iranian-backed proxies are interested in real peace. It's not their story. They want to destroy Israel, kill every last Jew on earth, and then come after us in America. Therefore, we need to understand who our opponent is. As the old saying goes, we don't trade with honest brokers. We are dealing with people who seek to murder people who do not conform to their extremist ideology. That is, the idea that we will be at peace will only come when they are eradicated, when they are suppressed. That's why I think the Israeli prime minister accepted the agreement, which contains very clear terms that if violated, all bets are off, and Israel immediately moved to maintain restrictions. Back, that was it. they will have to do it. ”
Huckabee added that the Palestinian public could become disillusioned with Hamas and move closer to Israel.
