Mike Huckabee

It is your heritage without a doubt.

But minister, it is also the heritage of the United States.

Without Israel, without the Jewish Foundation, there would not be an America.

We owe our very existence to what happened in this land.

The message from the U.S.

ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, was blunt.

Now is the time to leave while there are still commercial flights.

This is what is known as an authorized departure for non-essential embassy staff and their families due to, quote, safety risks.

Ship spotters say they have seen the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group in the eastern Mediterranean heading east towards Israel.

That is significant because it was the last piece of the puzzle needed to set the battle space for potential strikes on Iran.

United States Ambassador Mike Huckabee has told embassy employees that anyone who wants to leave Israel has permission to do so, and anyone who does want to go back to Washington should go today.

Get the first flight you can, says Ambassador Huckabee's email, adding that in days to come, flights may not be available.

He does say there's no need for panic, but it comes after U.S.

and Iranian negotiators ended another round of nuclear talks without a deal.

I don't know how many times I had to say I did not know Jeffrey Epstein.

That's that's really not exactly what I'm trying.

I'm asking, is that what you said?

It was somewhat of a hyperbolic statement in that, you know, if that's what you feel like that we're talking about.

But it isn't.

We're talking about this land that Israel, the state of Israel.
