Speaking about the growing regional alliance against Iran, Huckabee said Gulf states are increasingly realizing they must choose between partnership with Israel or vulnerability to Iranian aggression.

"Gulf states have now understood that they're going to have to make a choice. Is it more likely that they will be attacked by Iran or by Israel? "

“Israel helped us, Iran attacked us,” Huckabee said, describing what he called a major shift in Gulf Arab thinking toward Israel.
