Huckabee: Trump Will Root Out Iran's Proxy 'Money Tree'

Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump's designated ambassador to Israel, said in an interview with Fox News on Monday that Trump will once again resume the maximum pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic, thereby uprooting the 'money tree' of these groups. He praised the Abraham Accords initiated by Trump, emphasizing the importance of more Arab countries joining and reaffirming Israel's right and duty to defend itself against its enemies. Huckabee recalled the transfer of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, stating that Trump has been Israel's closest friend among U.S. presidents. He identified the main problem for Israel in the Middle East not as Hamas, the Houthis, or Hezbollah, but the Islamic Republic itself. He continued by saying that Gulf countries know that the Islamic Republic of Iran, not Israel, is the real threat to them. In response to a Fox News question about whether he supports the idea of resuming maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic, he stated that he definitely wants it to resume from day one of Trump's return to the White House. Previously, other candidates considered by Trump for positions in his upcoming administration, including Elise Stefanik, Trump's designated ambassador to the United Nations, have announced that Trump will resume the maximum pressure policy.
