US Ambassador Mike Huckabee told The Jerusalem Post that there are no significant gaps between Israel and the US regarding Iran.

“I think there’s an extraordinary alignment between Israel and the United States. Everyone would love to see something that would resolve without a war, but it will be up to Iran. If they insist on holding nuclear weaponry and enriched uranium, then I think the president made very clear that this is not acceptable,” Huckabee said.

When asked by the Post’s Amichai Stein if the US and Israel’s stance on red lines for negotiations are the same, Huckabee said that he had not hear anything to the contrary.

Huckabee’s comments came as Netanyahu set off for Washington to discuss a course of action on Iran with US President Donald Trump.
