A joint statement from numerous Arab and Islamic countries has condemned remarks made by US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, suggesting Israel has a biblical right to a large portion of the Middle East.

• The comments were made on a podcast hosted by Tucker Carlson, where Huckabee stated it "would be fine if they took it all" regarding land described in a biblical verse.
• A statement released by the United Arab Emirates' foreign ministry was signed by over a dozen nations including Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, alongside regional organizations like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League.
• These countries called the remarks "dangerous and inflammatory," asserting they contravene the UN Charter and efforts to de-escalate the Gaza war.
