US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has drawn criticism for accusing Britain's Jewish foreign secretary of "Jew hate" after the minister spoke out against Israel's actions in Gaza, Middle East Eye reported. The ambassador's characterization of the foreign secretary's position prompted immediate pushback from observers who questioned whether such a framing was appropriate.
The accusation targets a senior British official responsible for international relations on matters directly related to Israeli military operations in Gaza. Huckabee's remarks come as Western allies continue to register divergent positions on Israeli policy, with some British government officials voicing concerns about civilian impact while others maintain closer alignment with Israel's stated security rationale.
