Ahead of possible US-Iran negotiations, US Ambassador to Israel reportedly described Hezbollah as a 'terrorist organization,' a 'malignant cancer,' and a 'common enemy.' The statement, attributed to the ambassador by a single source, underlines the administration's stance as Washington and Tehran may enter talks.
The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, is reported by a single source to have called Hezbollah 'a terrorist organization, a malignant cancer, and a common enemy.' The source’s timing, ahead of anticipated US-Iran negotiations, suggests a deliberate message framing Hezbollah as an adversary of both the United States and Israel. The Zioneer has previously reported Huckabee’s strong condemnation of Iran and Hezbollah, including his proposal to deport Hezbollah members to Iran. The ambassador’s latest comment may serve to preempt any US-Iran talks from treating Hezbollah as a legitimate regional actor. The statement has not yet been confirmed through official channels or other outlets.
