U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Breitbart News on Tuesday that Hamas, not Israel, is to blame for whatever food deprivation is being suffered by Palestinian people in Gaza, because it hoards food aid.
Huckabee spoke exclusively to Breitbart News as part of the Breitbart Fight Club, a unique subscription service allowing participants access to pose questions to newsmakers and leaders from around the world.

And where’s the condemnation for that? If there’s hunger in Gaza, and I believe there is — I’ll be the first to say I think that in pockets, not everywhere, but in pockets, there’s hunger.
