Mike Huckabee Criticizes British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband Over Gaza Medical Supply Claims
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee criticized British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on Saturday after Miliband published a video describing the healthcare situation in the Gaza Strip as "horrific." Miliband stated that he was told medicines were being blocked from entering the enclave, causing children to die while waiting for life-saving treatment. In response, the Israeli Foreign Ministry denied that any medicines were being blocked, noting that 22,500 tons of medical supplies have entered Gaza since the ceasefire began in October 2025. The ministry also noted that 200 Palestinians exited the enclave for medical treatment in the past two weeks. Mike Huckabee responded to the video by stating that the British government's "Jew hate" knows no boundaries and recognizes no facts. This dispute follows Miliband's call for a "comprehensive reset" of British policy toward Israel. The UK government is currently considering a package of sanctions against Israel regarding the expansion of illegal West Bank settlements.
