On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Wake Up America,” Mike Huckabee, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Israel, said that Hamas never keeps its word and “if you negotiate with terrorists, you only give them more freedom.” The post Huckabee: Hamas Doesn’t Keep Its Word and Negotiating with Terrorists Helps Them, But We’re Involved in Ceasefire Talks appeared first on Breitbart.
Mike Huckabee, President Trump’s nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Israel, stated on Newsmax TV that Hamas does not keep its word and negotiating with terrorists only empowers them. However, he emphasized the importance of the U.S. being engaged in ceasefire talks. Huckabee argued that Hamas must be eliminated by Israel, as they repeatedly fail to uphold commitments. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to the Middle East to discuss extending the ceasefire with Israel, Qatar, and Egypt. Huckabee criticized past policies that withheld defense weapons from Israel and stressed that the U.S. should not negotiate with terrorists like Hamas. He also referenced Israel’s decision not to release Palestinian prisoners due to Hamas’s hostage displays, aligning with his stance against rewarding terrorists.
