US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sharply criticized British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, accusing the UK government of 'Jew hate' after Miliband said in a video that children in Gaza were dying while waiting for medical treatment and that he had been briefed on 'horrific' conditions. The remarks marked the latest flashpoint in a broader diplomatic row between Washington and London over the Gaza war. Huckabee's comments drew criticism from multiple quarters, with commentators noting Miliband himself is Jewish and arguing the ambassador's accusation conflated criticism of Israeli policy with antisemitism. The episode came amid separate UK plans to ban goods from Israeli settlements, adding further strain to US-UK-Israel relations.
