Huckabee’s interview reveals his disregard for Palestinian sovereignty and the true face of U.S. policy. His opposition to a Palestinian state is borne of a religious fanaticism that aligns him with the Israeli far-right, while his openness merely confirms what U.S. policy has always been. Trump must repudiate Huckabee’s comments and reaffirm America’s commitment to a two-state solution.
