An evangelical Christian, Huckabee has been a vocal Israel supporter and has defended Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
“Governor Huckabee brings a profound understanding of the security challenges confronting Israel and an unwavering commitment to the US-Israel alliance,” said the director of OU Advocacy Center.
Huckabee 'brings moral clarity, unwavering support for Israel, and will serve as the greatest US ambassador to Israel in history,' Friends of Zion Museum founder Mike Evans said.
Huckabee’s appointment will be passed easily in the Republican-controlled Senate and House of Representatives, where a majority have views on Israel closer to Huckabee’s than Pesner’s.
By working with pro-Israel Jewish groups on campuses, this initiative could amplify efforts to defend Israel, counter misinformation, and build a united front for the future.
History will remember whether you allowed Israel to stand victorious or settle for less. Make it count.
Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israel, highlighted the achievements of the Trump administration’s first term, including the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
