U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is threatening measures against Britain over an announcement expected today.

"I feel that this is discrimination against the Israeli government. It is discrimination against the Jewish people, and I do not understand the logic behind it.

It's like throwing a stone without knowing where it's going to land. Britain is a sovereign country, and it can do what it wants, but the United States is also a sovereign country."

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, on Turkey, to The Jerusalem Post:

"We have concerns when we hear some of their statements. When the Israelis carried out the strikes, they were not trying to harm anyone. They were saying, 'You are entering an area where you are not supposed to be. That is not a good idea.'"

He said he hopes Turkey will decide to be constructive.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

"The agreement with Lebanon is a historic agreement. Lebanon recognized that it is not at war with Israel. Israel has already recognized that it is not at war with Lebanon. Israel has a problem with Hezbollah, not with Lebanon. For the first time we see hope and opportunity. Israel and Lebanon are not at war, and they have a common enemy, Hezbollah. I want each of us to be able to take a car from Jerusalem and drive to Beirut, and most importantly, to be able to return back."

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

The United States and Israel have an unbreakable bond.

There is no world leader that Trump speaks with more than Netanyahu.

Theirs is a relationship that goes beyond two statesmen. It is deeply personal - personal to the point that there is a candor between them that is probably unlike his relationship with anyone else.
