US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned the Jordanian border terror attack, where a Gaza-bound “aid truck” was used to slaughter two Israeli soldiers, calling it a betrayal of humanitarian trust.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee issued a powerful statement following the deadly terrorist attack at the Allenby Crossing on the Jordanian border. The attack saw a Palestinian terrorist use an aid truck intended for Gaza as cover to carry out a murderous assault, killing two heroic IDF soldiers.
“This heinous act betrays the trust in humanitarian efforts,” Huckabee declared, highlighting how Hamas and its supporters weaponize aid meant for civilians to carry out terror against Israel. He added: “Janet and I extend our condolences to the bereaved IDF families. May their memories be a blessing.”
The Ambassador’s remarks underscore America’s recognition of Israel’s daily battle against Palestinian terror networks that exploit humanitarian channels for bloodshed. His statement also sends a clear message to the international community: humanitarian aid must never be hijacked as a terror weapon.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier confirmed that the victims were IDF soldiers, praising their sacrifice and vowing that Israel will strike back at the perpetrators and those who direct them.
This attack adds to the growing evidence that terrorists cynically manipulate aid convoys, exposing Israel’s justified demand for strict security checks at crossings into Gaza.
