Statement on Media Misinformation on Gaza By Mike Huckabee, U.S. Ambassador to Israel
U.S. Embassy Jerusalem ^ | Jun 2, 2025 | Mike Huckabee

Posted on 06/02/2025 8:49:46 AM PDT by Texas Fossil

Reckless and irresponsible reporting by major U.S. news outlets are contributing to the antisemitic climate that has resulted in the murder of two young people at an Israeli Embassy event in Washington last month and the attempted murder and terror attack on a group of pro-Israel demonstrators in Colorado on Sunday.

Without verification of any source other than Hamas and its collaborators, the New York Times, CNN, and Associated Press reported that a number of people seeking to receive humanitarian food boxes from the Gaza Humanitarian Fund were shot or killed by the Israeli Defense Forces. These reports were FALSE. Drone video and first-hand accounts clearly showed that there were no injuries, no fatalities, no shooting, no chaos. It is Hamas that continues to terrorize and intimidate those who seek food aid. The only source for these misleading, exaggerated, and utterly fabricated stories came from Hamas sources, which are designed to fan the flames of antisemitic hate that is arguably contributing to violence against Jews in the United States. Media sources who willingly parrot these libelous allegations should recant their fake news stories, apologize, and pledge to practice actual reporting of fact instead of engaging in dangerous propaganda that assists the terror group Hamas as they continue to hold innocent hostages for over 600 days after butchering over 1,200 people on October 7th.

The efforts of GHF have resulted in over 5 million meals to civilians without incident. For the New York Times, AP, and CNN to be part of a Hamas-fed false narrative is reprehensible. It represents more than mere sloppy journalism. It’s feeding and inciting violence against innocent people in the United States.

We are demanding an immediate retraction of the lies and are appealing to all media sources to act with objective professionalism to cover actual events instead of being a partner of terrorism by blindly following Hamas news releases.

Mike Huckabee, U.S. Ambassador to Israel, is speaking the TRUTH.

The New York Times, CNN, and Associated Press are continuing to LIE and they know it is not the TRUTH.

All of them must be exposed and how much money they were paid to do it.

Punish them ALL.

I had forgotten that Mike Huckebee is now our Ambassador to Israel. I’m surprised I haven’t been hearing more from him on that topic. But then, Mike may be letting Trump select who will be saying what about Israel for the time being.
Ever since Oct 7th massacre, that entire region is a tinder box for war and rumors of war.

None of them have licenses. Licenses are only needed for broadcast frequencies. CNN is cable.

Suing is probably good.

I have heard Mike tell about his phone call from Trump.

He selected him for a very good reason. Huckabee will tell Trump exactly what he see’s as the Truth. Trump chose the right man for the job.

And Mike understands how the media works, so it’s very unlikely that he will begin blabbing about sensitive data before Israel the Trump Team is ready to deal with it.

A less media savvy Ambassador, one newer to that political world may try leaking sensitive data as a way to make themselves look more important.

The MSM is too stupid to see the connections and too vain to read opinions other than their own. That said, 'nice try Mike Huckabee'...

Mike Huckabee and his daughter are very experienced public officials. Good Christians and very respected.

Good statement by Huckabee. One thing I like about this administration is they say what needs to be said, often pretty bluntly. Usually not as bluntly as Trump himself but he sets the tone and has clearly shifted the Overton Window. You can see this in how Huckabee flat out calls the reporting of the NYT etc. “propaganda”. That kind of language probably wouldn’t have been directed at the Fourth Estate by someone at Huckabee’s level pre-Trump.

Yes. The MSM Lies, but they are arrogant liars.

They cannot stand to be exposed for what they are.

Huckabee is in the position that fits him exactly. President Trump knows that.

Huckabee has made Ambassador to Israel into a HUGELY POWERFUL POSITION.

He deserves it.

God Bless and protect Mike Huckabee and his family.
