Sky News Reporter Challenges Huckabee Over West Bank Description
September 8, 2026
In a heated exchange in the occupied West Bank, Sky News reporter Adam Parsons directly confronted U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee for refusing to use the internationally recognized term “West Bank,” calling out his use of “Judea and Samaria” to legitimize illegal settler annexation.
As reported by @middleeasteye, Huckabee dismissed international law and global consensus, calling the West Bank a “nebulous term” while claiming biblical mandates grant special rights to illegal settlements.
When diplomats use religious excuses to erase international law and cover for illegal land theft, the mask falls off completely.
OCCUPATION IS NOT NEBULOUS.
IT IS ILLEGAL.

English Script:
Adam Parsons: You’ve called it Judea and Samaria?
Mike Huckabee: Yes.
Adam Parsons: That is not what the rest of the world calls it. It’s not what Palestinians call it. And you’ve said there’s a small number of settlers, across the West Bank. People here say that your words are empowering violent settlers who live over there to intimidate and to commit acts of violence on a daily basis. Do you take personal responsibility?
Mike Huckabee: I strongly disagree with your conclusion that I’m endangering people. I’m here today to listen to the people who have legitimate grievances. The reason I use the terms Judea and Samaria, because they’re the ancient biblical terms of this land. 80% of the Bible happened in the area of Judea, Samaria. The West Bank is a nebulous term to me.
