At the 17th Plenary Assembly of the World Jewish Congress held in Yerushalayim, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee gave a forceful speech highlighting what he sees as the root of Israel’s security challenges. Though Israel faces attacks from numerous directions, Huckabee argued these threats are not independent, but rather trace back to a single instigator.
“I hear people say often that Israel faces a seven-front war. I beg to differ,” Huckabee said. “While there may be seven different servers coming out of the kitchen, all bringing a different plate, some of it named Hamas, some Hezbollah, and some the Houthis, just remember one thing: all of the plates came from the very same kitchen in Tehran.”
Huckabee painted Iran as the mastermind behind the destabilization efforts throughout the region. In his view, the Islamic Republic is not only providing weapons and financial backing to terror organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, but is also coordinating their actions in a deliberate campaign against Israel.
“Tehran is the chef, it is the server, it is the one who brings the poison to all the rest of the world,” Huckabee warned. “And if we ever forget who our real enemy is, it will be a fatal mistake.”
