Huckabee accuses UK government of ‘Jew hate’ over claim Israel blocking medicine from Gaza
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee bashed British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on Saturday and accused the UK government of having “lost it,” after the Labour lawmaker published a video discussing allegations of Israel blocking the entry of medication to the Gaza Strip.
The Foreign Ministry also responded to Miliband and denied that Israel was preventing Palestinians from accessing medical treatment.
Miliband, in the video published on Friday, says he attended a meeting on the “horrific” healthcare situation in the Gaza Strip, where he said he was told about “medicines being blocked” from entering, and of “children dying while waiting for vital life-saving treatment.”
Huckabee, in response to Miliband’s video, said, “the Brits have lost it.”
“The Jew hate of their government knows no boundaries and knows no facts, Huckabee wrote on X, declining to note that Miliband is Jewish.
The Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, denied that Israel was blocking medicine from entering Gaza or that it was preventing Palestinians from seeking medical treatment abroad, and insisted that Miliband was “well aware of all this.”
“If the Foreign Secretary were interested in facts rather than stories, he would know that there are no restrictions whatsoever on the entry of medicines into the Gaza Strip, and that no medicines are being blocked,” wrote the Foreign Ministry on X.
It added that “22,500 tons of medical supplies have entered Gaza since the ceasefire began” in October 2025, and that in the past two weeks alone, 200 Palestinians have exited the enclave for medical treatment.
“The UK is a member of the International Gaza Support Center, which facilitates the delivery of medical aid to the Gaza Strip,” the Foreign Ministry added, referring to the US-led coordination center in Kiryat Gat.
Miliband was appointed foreign secretary in........
