'Up to Israel if they want to annex Gaza' - US ambassador to Israelpublished at 18:31 British Summer Time

The US ambassador to Israel says it's up to the Israeli government to decide if they want to annex the Gaza Strip.
Speaking to CBS News, the BBC's US news partner, Mike Huckabee says it isn't their job to "tell them what they should or should not do".
"Certainly, if they ask for wisdom, counsel, advice, I'm sure the president would offer it. But ultimately, it's the decision that the Israelis and only the Israelis can make."
He adds that people in Gaza "shouldn't be forced out".
When asked what advice President Trump might offer, Huckabee says: "I remember him saying that, 'I know what I would do, but I'm not sure anybody else would do it.' I think we got the inference of: It would not be good for Hamas."
On ceasefire negotiations, Huckabee says they have "broken down completely because Hamas is not serious about negotiating".
