That’s why I feel the prime minister of Israel accepted the settlement, but it surely had a really clear clause in there that, if it had been violated, all bets are off, and Israel goes proper again to making an attempt to maintain them beneath management, and that’s what they’re going to should do.”
Huckabee stated, “[T]he different day, once we had this dialog, I stated it’s like asking a 400-pound man to protect the dessert buffet. It most likely doesn’t finish nicely. And I actually predicted that Hezbollah wouldn’t honor the settlement. They by no means do. None of those Iranian-backed proxies are excited by actual peace. That’s not what they’re about. They’re about destroying Israel and killing each final Jew on earth, after which coming after us in America. So, we have now to only perceive who we’re coping with. Because the outdated saying goes, we’re not coping with sincere brokers. We’re coping with individuals who wish to homicide those that don’t bow to their radical ideology. So, any concept that we’re going to have peace, it solely will come once they’re eradicated, once they’re put down. That’s why I feel the prime minister of Israel accepted the settlement, but it surely had a really clear clause in there that, if it had been violated, all bets are off, and Israel goes proper again to making an attempt to maintain them beneath management, and that’s what they’re going to should do.”
