U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sharply criticized Britain ahead of Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband’s announcement of sweeping measures targeting Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, calling the planned move “irrational.” “If the UK is really interested in dealing with issues they feel like are wrong, where are the sanctions against North Korea, China, Russia?” Huckabee asked, warning that Britain could also face U.S. economic repercussions over the measures.
