US Envoy Suggests France Create Palestinian State on the Riviera

Amidst ongoing tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Mike Huckabee, the former U.S. ambassador to Israel, has ignited a firestorm of controversy with a provocative suggestion. In a recent interview, Huckabee proposed that France should create a Palestinian state by ceding a portion of the French Riviera. "If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state," Huckabee stated, "I've got a suggestion for them: carve out a piece of the French Riviera and create a Palestinian state." He further emphasized his belief that such actions constitute unacceptable pressure on a sovereign nation, stating, "I find it revolting that they think they have the right to do such a thing." The statement has drawn sharp criticism and praise from various political figures and commentators, highlighting the complexities and sensitivities surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Huckabee's unexpected proposal serves as a stark reminder of the deeply entrenched divisions and the ongoing search for a lasting solution.
