The United States ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has responded to comments by French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot calling for Israel to halt strikes on Lebanon and for Washington to apply pressure on its ally.
In a post on X, Huckabee rejected the French minister’s position and questioned the source of information cited by Paris, Caliber.Az reports.
“French FM said Israel needs to stop strikes on Hezbollah. Does France get all its info from Hezbollah?" he wrote.
He stated that last night, on June 18, Israel had four of its soldiers killed.
"Israel strikes when struck as [İsrael’s Ambassador to US - ed.] Yechiel Leiter brings FACTS. Ceasefire happens when Hezbollah stops shooting & killing,” Huckabee wrote.
