US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sharply criticized British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband's characterization of the Gaza situation, declaring that "the Brits have lost it," Middle East Eye reported. Huckabee's rebuke followed Miliband's recent remarks on Gaza, though the specifics of the British official's comments were not detailed in available accounts of the exchange.
The confrontation underscores growing diplomatic friction between Washington and London over their respective approaches to the conflict in Gaza. Huckabee, appointed by President Trump in his second term, has adopted a notably pro-Israel position since assuming the ambassadorial role. The incident reflects deeper divisions among Western allies on how to handle Middle East policy and the humanitarian dimensions of the Gaza crisis.
