Huckabee called the legislation &#8220;stupid&#8221; and claimed it would harm both Arabs and Israelis, urging Ireland to &#8220;sober up&#8221; and apologize to Israel.The bill, currently discussed by the Irish Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, aims to prohibit imports from Israeli settlements within Palestinian territories and could become the first such law passed by a European national legislature. Ireland has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/economists-push-for-another-round-of-stimulus-checks\/\" title=\"Economists Push for Another Round of Stimulus Checks\">expressed support<\/a> for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians and recognized Palestinian statehood last year. Meanwhile, Huckabee, a supporter of Israel, has publicly backed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid his corruption trial, aligning with former President Donald Trump&#8217;s criticism of the legal proceedings against Netanyahu.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Mike Huckabee slams Ireland over &lsquo;stupid&rsquo; anti-Israel bill: &lsquo;Sober up&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2168080\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-huckabee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Mike Huckabee\">Mike Huckabee<\/a>, the U.S. ambassador to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Israel\">Israel<\/a>, sharply criticized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ireland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Mike Huckabee\">Ireland<\/a> over its movement on a bill that will ban trading with Israeli settlements in the West Bank.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Did the Irish fall into a vat of Guinness &amp; propose something so stupid that it would be attributed to act of diplomatic intoxication?&rdquo; Huckabee <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GovMikeHuckabee\/status\/1945324801930772694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"posted on X\">posted on X<\/a> late Tuesday. &ldquo;It will harm Arabs as much as Israelis.
