U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee says he’s “outraged” at at the leaders of the UK, France, and Canada for condemning Israel’s new military offensive in Gaza. He sat down with NPR to express the U.S. view of the conflict as pressure on Israel from around the world is mounting, not just for the new offensive in Gaza but also for restricting food aid to the territory.
