Baghdad, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) — Iraq's Foreign Ministry on Saturday evening strongly condemned US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee's recent remarks about Israel's possible control over the entire Middle East, calling them a "grave offense."
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry expressed Iraq's "deep condemnation" of the ambassador's comments, which suggest that Israeli dominance over the region could be considered acceptable.
Such statements are “incompatible with the principles of international law and the UN Charter” and constitute “an attack on the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of States, and have negative consequences for security and stability in the region,” the statement said.
The Ministry reiterated Iraq's firm position in support of the sovereignty of states, calling for strict adherence to international law to ensure peace and security in the region.
In an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson published Friday, Huckabee said Israel has a "biblical" right to the entire Middle East, or at least to most of the region.
“It would be good if they /the Israelis/ took all of this,” M. Huckabee noted. –0–
