The US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has rejected a report by the Jerusalem Post citing a “Gulf diplomatic source” saying that President Donald Trump is set to declare US recognition of a Palestinian state “without the presence of Hamas.”
The Jerusalem-based outlet “needs better sources than this unidentified ‘source,’” Huckabee tweeted.
“My 4 year old grandson Teddy is more reliable. And take it from Teddy. This report is nonsense. Israel doesn’t have a better friend” than Trump, the American diplomat said.
On Friday Huckabee dismissed reports of a rift between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
