Trump's First Ambassador Pick: Mike Huckabee Named U.S. Envoy to Israel
Nov 12, 2024, 06:49 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to serve as the United States Ambassador to Israel, marking his first ambassadorial selection in the new administration. The announcement on November 12, 2024, underscores the importance Trump places on the US-Israel alliance. In his statement, Trump said, "I am pleased to announce that the highly respected former Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, has been nominated to be the United States Ambassador to Israel. He loves Israel, and the people of Israel love him." Huckabee, a devout Christian and staunch supporter of Israel, will be the first non-Jewish U.S. ambassador to Israel since 2011. There is speculation that former ambassador David Friedman may serve in a broader envoy capacity, potentially focusing on the Abraham Accords. Huckabee's appointment is expected to strengthen ties between the two nations.
