GOP hopeful Huckabee says West Bank is part of Israel
Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee waded into Middle East politics by declaring on Tuesday that the West Bank was a part of Israel.
Huckabee was visiting a West Bank settlement, telling reporters "if you're going to visit Israel you should visit all of Israel, and that would include Judea and Samaria," the biblical names for the West Bank.
Huckabee is visiting Israel to meet with officials to discuss the Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran.
