Huckabee commented\u200b on \u200cPresident Donald Trump&#8217;s viewpoint on Gaza, suggesting that Trump saw\u2062 potential for the region&#8217;s change, indicating that\u200c it\u2064 could \u2062have been a prosperous area\u2062 akin to Singapore. He\u200b emphasized that under Hamas&#8217; governance, Gaza has deteriorated substantially, likening\u2064 it&#8217;s current state to\u200b that of Haiti or worse.<\/p>\n<p>Huckabee praised Trump\u2019s\u2064 bold vision for Gaza,\u200d hoping that people would take it seriously, noting that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/china-and-the-u-s-to-discuss-nuclear-arms\/\" title=\"China and the U.S. to talk about nuclear weapons.\">significant peace<\/a> in the\u2062 Middle East was achieved during Trump&#8217;s first term.
