President-elect Trump nominates former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel
Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and a prominent political figure, has been a vocal supporter of Israel throughout his career. His ties to Israel are rooted in both personal belief and political strategy. Huckabee, a Baptist minister, often emphasizes his Christian faith's connection to the Jewish state, viewing support for Israel as a moral and theological obligation.
During his tenure as governor and later as a presidential candidate, Huckabee advocated for strong U.S.-Israel relations, promoting policies that support Israeli security and sovereignty. He has participated in numerous pro-Israel events and organizations, enhancing his reputation within evangelical circles that prioritize support for Israel.

His unwavering support has made him a significant figure in discussions about U.S.-Israel relations, particularly among conservative and evangelical voters.
