US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee faced criticism for accusing British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, a Jew, of "Jew hate" over his criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza. Miliband expressed his concerns in a recent video, stating that the situation in Gaza was "horrific." The Israeli Foreign Ministry responded to Miliband's remarks with a post on their official X account, claiming that "facts matter less when making a video for a political audience."
Huckabee, who is not Jewish, shared the Israeli Foreign Ministry's post and expressed his view that the British government had lost its sense of facts and boundaries, accusing Miliband of perpetrating "Jew hate."
