Huckabee has criticized the Bush administration for " only proceeding down one track with Iran : armed conflict " . He noted that the US has " not had diplomatic relations with Iran in almost 30 years , and a lot of good it 's done " . Huckabee is willing to consider using military force against Iran . He wrote : " The Bush administration has properly said that it will not take the military option for dealing with Iran off the table . Neither will I. " Speaking with '' Breitbart News '' in 2015 on the recent Iranian nuclear deal , he said : " This president 's foreign policy is the most feckless in American history . It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians . By doing so , he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven . " These comments were considered a reference to the systematic gassing of Jews in Nazi Germany and as deeply offensive by Mika Brzezinski of '' MSNBC '' , who said that : Huckabee calls Israel an " ally " , " America 's greatest friend in the region " , and says Israel should have access to advanced weapons and technology . He is a Christian Zionist politician , and has written that , " the Jews have a God-given right to reclaim land given to their ancestors and taken away from them . " Huckabee stated that he supports creating a Palestinian state outside of their native Palestine . He named Egypt and Saudi Arabia as possible locations to move the country
