United States Ambassador Mike Huckabee commented on social media about the differing approaches of European and Arab countries regarding the conflict in Gaza. He noted that while European nations such as France, the United Kingdom, and Ireland are critical of Israel, countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Qatar are instead pressuring Hamas. Huckabee suggested that the war in Gaza would end and hostages would be released if Hamas heeded advice that it has no future in Gaza. Meanwhile, Britain and France have announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state, while the United States has stated it has no official position on the matter.
