He also suggested Gulf states are increasingly weighing security from Iran versus Israel. The remarks followed president Donald Trump\u2019s claim that the Iran-Israel-U.S. ceasefire is nearly failing, describing Iran\u2019s response as \u201cgarbage.\u201d  <\/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<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p>U.S. Ambassador to Israel <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-huckabee\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1142\">Mike Huckabee <\/a>announced Tuesday that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"219\">Israel<\/a> had sent <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iron-dome\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"6169\">Iron Dome<\/a> batteries to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-arab-emirates\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"215\">United Arab Emirates<\/a> as a means of protection, as ties between the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >countries grow closer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Israel sent anti-missile batteries and personnel to operate them to the UAE, Huckabee said Tuesday at a conference in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tel-aviv\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"6371\">Tel Aviv<\/a>, Israel. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4564219\/starmer-resists-calls-resign-labour-party-lose-local-elections\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Starmer resists resignation calls after Labour Party loses local elections<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4564133\/russia-ends-ceasefire-launching-200-attack-drones-at-ukraine\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Russia ends ceasefire, launching \u2018200 attack drones\u2019 at Ukraine<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4562562\/uk-labour-mp-scraps-leadership-challenge-demands-starmer-exit\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Labour MP scraps leadership challenge but demands Starmer exit by September<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>The comments come as the ceasefire in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"100\">Iran<\/a> war remains shaky.
