The UK would have lost World War Two if Sir Keir Starmer had been its leader at the time, the US ambassador to Israel has suggested in an attack on the prime minister's response to Israel's Gaza City takeover plan.
In a post on social media, Mike Huckabee wrote: "So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas & feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved?"
"Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them? ... If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!" he said.
His comments come after Starmer condemned Israel's plans to take over Gaza City as "wrong" and urged its government to immediately reconsider its decision "to further escalate its offensive".
A spokesperson for No 10 said they had nothing to add to Starmer's comments.
In his post on X on Friday, in which he reposted a statement by Starmer, Huckabee said: "Ever heard of Dresden, PM Starmer?
"That wasn't food you dropped. If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!"
During World War Two, British and American forces dropped 4,000 tons of bombs on the eastern German city over two days, killing tens of thousands of civilians.
Starmer's earlier statement said: "The Israeli Government's decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza is wrong, and we urge it to reconsider immediately.
"This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages. It will only bring more bloodshed," he added.
In the early hours of Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet approved plans to take over Gaza's capital, in a controversial escalation of its war in the territory.

Not just Starmer. Probably all of them in recent times save Margaret Thatcher.
Lost it? They might possibly have been on the side of the Nazis.
Except for Margaret Thatcher, all of them will have capitulated to the Nazis.
Huckabee’s an ambassador, but he’s far from a diplomat.
Sure, that’s why they put Churchill in. But before that, Churchill gave them reason to keep him out. He was the man they needed to fight Hitler, but not necessarily the man they needed in other situations.
Vive la differance!
One author titled a book about Truman “Plain Speaking”.
An entire library shelf will be filled with the “Plain Speaking” of DJT’s appointees.
In his role of Ambassador, Huckabee gets awfully close to giving the appearance of Showboating and Grandstanding, vs acting as a diplomatic liaison for both countries.
This is not his Talk Show on Fox, where people tune in to hear his opinion, with little concern about discretion.
It was more than just leaders that Britain needed in WWII. They needed military equipment, and food which we provided through the Lend-Lease Program. Britain imported 70% of its food in WWII, and they rationed food until July 4, 1954. Although their imports have dropped significantly since then, they still import 10.38% of its food from foreign sources.
The UK is a half a muzzie shithole with a faggot as a PM. Who cares what they cry about. Get rid of Queer Stammer and maybe somebody will give a crap.
Wow, that’s fascinating.
A stupid comment.
If Starmer were PM the British Empire would not have declared war on Germany in the first place and the world would be a very different place.
Alternative history is difficult.
Of course one would have to consider how the British Empire (and the rest of the world) would have looked, if in 1939, a man of Keir Starmer’s ilk and limited abilities, had been elected PM.
However, what you seem to forget is that it was not Winston Churchill, but Chamberlain and the appeasers who declared war in September 1939.
Reality had eventually struck home!
Hopefully that means there is a Churchill in the shadows.
LOL...true
I think the UK surrendered long after the war.
There's every indication that Starmer (there's a kraut derived name) still is.
NEIN - Nazi Except In Name.
Say "Nein!" to NEINs.
Starmer? Heck, if they’d a had charles as “king” they would have gone the vichy french route.
Looking at anyc in the UK today it’s kind of hard to argue that they actually won
