Mike Huckabee, serving as U.S. Ambassador to Israel under President Trump, recently addressed escalating tensions with Iran from Jerusalem, stressing that Trump’s firm demands—no nuclear weapons and an end to Tehran’s savage crackdown on protesters—must be met with resolve. Huckabee highlighted Trump’s deployment of a robust military presence in the region as a credible deterrent, likening it to Americans wisely stocking up before a blizzard rather than scrambling in panic. This no-nonsense approach signals to Iran’s mullahs that empty threats won’t cut it anymore, especially after years of weak diplomacy that only emboldened their aggression.
With U.S. military exercises underway in the Middle East, Huckabee urged Israelis to remain vigilant yet steady, warning against the complacency that invites disaster. He floated the idea of offering Iranian leaders asylum in Russia as a bloodless off-ramp, but made clear that America won’t hesitate to back words with action if needed. Netanyahu’s caution on Gaza peace talks, particularly around Hamas disarmament and foreign troops, reflects smart skepticism—rushing into deals without ironclad security guarantees would repeat past follies that empowered terrorists.
Huckabee robustly defended Israel’s unmatched humanitarian aid to Gaza, debunking left-wing media smears that paint the Jewish state as callous. No nation at war has ever fed its attackers like Israel has, and expecting otherwise defies common sense—America didn’t ship rations to Nazis in World War II. Under Trump, Hamas hostages are finally free thanks to U.S. pressure and Arab allies stepping up, a triumph the previous administration could only dream of amid its appeasement failures.
On the domestic front, Huckabee shredded Hillary Clinton’s latest smears against Trump supporters as heartless, calling out her hypocrisy given her own history of ignoring crises like Benghazi. True empathy drives Trump’s base to back policies that protect American interests abroad and secure borders at home, not the globalist handouts Clinton championed. Her moral posturing rings hollow from someone whose tenure fueled chaos from Libya to Iran.
As Trump steers through these high-stakes waters, Huckabee’s insights underscore a return to strength: deterrence works, Israel thrives as our ally, and weak-kneed multilateralism is dead. Iran’s fanatics and their apologists better heed the storm clouds gathering—America’s back in charge, prioritizing peace through power over endless concessions.
