five years and says he is a 'steadfast supporter' of Israel.

• In October 2007 he said that he believed that they
should create a Palestinian state, but he also said that it
should not be in Israel. 

• When asked if he would support a two-state solution i.e.
Israel and Palestine beside each other, he replied, "Well, I
would want to see where that side-by-side exists, because if you
do something that puts the Israelis in a position of ultimate
vulnerability, that may not be a healthy solution."  He said that
he was not yet ready to endorse a two-state solution until he
knew where the two states would be located, and until he knew
whether there was going to be any kind of assurance on security
and some considerations from the countries that would border
Israel. 

• When asked if he thought that Israel should give up West
Bank Huckabee replied, "No, I don't think so. I have been to
Israel 9 times. I have been all throughout the Middle East.
Anyone who goes to Israel, and just understands the unique
geography and the unique tension that surrounds that area; it
would be very problematic for Israel to give up the West Bank,
from their own standpoint of security."

• He was stated to have said: "Jews should have the right
to live wherever they choose in their homeland. If the Arabs
