US envoy casts Gaza genocide as ‘spiritual conflict’, urging Christian solidarity with Israel

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has recast Israel’s devastating war on Gaza as a “spiritual conflict” between good and evil. In an interview with CBN News on Thursday, Huckabee urged Christians worldwide to rally behind Israel, highlighting how religious ideology continues to shape US political backing for Tel Aviv, even in the face of mounting international outrage over Israeli war crimes and genocide charges in Gaza. Huckabee argued that the fighting and the mounting international criticism of Israel cannot be understood solely in political or military terms. He described the crisis as “a battle of the ages,” one that he said pits “heaven versus hell” and “good versus evil.”
