US Ambassador Huckabee Says US-Israel Partnership Will Never End

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee addressed speculation about the future of US-Israel relations, firmly dismissing any possibility of separation between the two countries. "I hear people saying: 'Is it possible that the United States and Israel will part ways?' And I say: 'No, no, no. You have to understand – we're not that stupid,'" Huckabee stated. He compared the relationship to "an amazing marriage" and joked that "neither country can afford the alimony if we ever separate," concluding that the partnership will continue "as long as we exist."
