THE GUARDIAN: Mike Huckabee launches undiplomatic harangue after UK prime minister calls for immediate ceasefire
The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has launched an undiplomatic attack on Keir Starmer by invoking the allied second world war bombing of Dresden after the British prime minister criticised the Israeli security cabinet’s decision to expand the war in Gaza.
