'Facts matter less': Israel, Huckabee slam UK foreign secretary over Gaza medicine claims
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee backed the Foreign Ministry, writing: “the Brits have lost it. Their government’s Jew hatred knows no bounds and recognizes no facts.”
The Israeli Foreign Ministry and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee criticized Britain's Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband for making claims about the conditions in Gaza. Miliband, who is Jewish, wrote that he believed the situation in Gaza was horrifying and recounted stories of medicines being blocked and children dying while waiting for life-saving treatment.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry accused Miliband of spreading false information, stating that there are no restrictions on bringing medicines into Gaza and that 22,500 tons of medical supplies have entered since the ceasefire began. They also noted that Gaza residents frequently leave the Strip for medical treatment, with 200 doing so in the past two weeks alone.
U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee backed the Foreign Ministry, calling the Brits' government "Jew-hating" and lacking factual basis. Earlier, Huckabee made an unusual visit to the Palestinian town of Turmus Ayya, meeting with local residents, including relatives of US citizens killed by settlers.
