Former Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, has been appointed as the next U.S. ambassador to Israel, a role he will assume in the upcoming Trump administration, President-elect Trump confirmed on Tuesday.
Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister, joins a growing list of staunch supporters of Israel who are either confirmed or rumored to be part of Trump’s new administration. President Trump has repeatedly vowed to strengthen America’s relationship with Israel, especially as the country continues to combat Iranian-backed terrorist factions such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Special counsel Jack Smith has reportedly spent over $50 million in his efforts to prosecute President-elect Donald Trump.
Smith was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland on November 18, 2022, to lead investigations and pursue federal charges against Trump. These charges include the improper handling of classified materials and attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Trump, who won the presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s election, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and the cases have yet to go to trial.
After the election, NBC News reported that the Justice Department was exploring how to close the federal cases against Trump.

President-elect Donald Trump announced that the “great public servant, governor, and leader in faith for many years” and “highly respected” Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, will be the U.S. ambassador to Israel during the next administration.
Huckabee “loves Israel and the people of Israel and likewise, the people of Israel love him,” Trump stated. “Mike will work tirelessly to bring about peace in the Middle East.”
A Southern Baptist pastor and governor for more than a decade, Huckabee sought the Republican nomination for president in 2008 and 2016.

WHITE HOUSE (VINnews) —Israeli journalist Neria Kraus asked President Biden if he thinks that he can get a hostage deal done by the end of his term.

Amid mounting concerns over what a second Trump presidency holds in store for the fight against climate change, it seems tee time with foreign leaders might well promise to be the only kind of “green” diplomacy the Republican president-elect has any interest in. Perhaps with that in mind, Reuters reports South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is polishing up his golf game to prepare for potential future meetings with the incoming U.S. leader, after not picking up a putt in more than eight years.
