Arab and Muslim nations have strongly condemned comments made by the US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.
Mr Huckabee suggested Israel could claim a biblical right to territory beyond its borders in the Middle East.
The foreign ministries of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine labelled the comments "dangerous and inflammatory".

A sop to the fundamentalists within MAGA?

Not sure about that given the "Jews will not replace us" sentiments of the US right. Seems more like a declaration of support for the governors of a colonial outpost.

The US will return to somewhat more normal behavior after Trump. Years pass and the academics will have to make documentaries with interviews from this era. Otherwise future college students will not believe the size (30-40 million) of hard core Trump supporters. Trump was able to express what theu thought, but throwing in phrases that were code, like DEI. The reader of that future text book on politics (political histroy has little shelf space in bookstore, only ethnic and minority writers hava a section) will lose interest in 2 pages. You have to put in some terrible things that can be proven. Otherwise it all gets lumped as conspiracy.
