Why a righteous Christian like Mike Huckabee is such a brilliant choice for U.S. Ambassador to Israel

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who President- elect Donald Trump has selected as U.S. ambassador to Israel, not only is opposed to a two-state solution, he believes “there is no such thing as a Palestinian.”

World Israel News  Mike Huckabee is the biggest proponent of Judea and Samaria. He doesn’t even call it the West Bank. He only refers to it by its historical and biblical name:  Judea and Samaria. And while the Biden regime is sanctioning Israeli so-called ‘settlers’ in that area, and Mike Huckabee wants to buy a house in Efrat and become a ‘settler’ himself.

According to Rabbi Tuly Weisz, “Huckabee and Trump’s other pro-Israel appointments could mark a sea change in US foreign policy “from night to day, from bad to good.” Under the Biden regime, Israel has been fighting with its hands tied behind its back,”with the US “holding back weapons, leading to the deaths of IDF soldiers.”

Weisz  is confident that both Trump and Huckabee will back Israel’s strategy of total victory in the Gaza war rather than deep concessions and the return of the hostages.

Another difference Huckabee ushers in is that, as an evangelical Christian, he is one of the few non-Jewish ambassadors to Israel in the nation’s history. The fact that Huckabee is not Jewish as an advantage since Jewish ambassadors are often “very nervous about allegations of dual loyalty.” “Christians don’t have that problem. They have one loyalty. They have loyalty to God, and the Word of God, and the Word of God is really crystal clear that America needs to support Israel,” he said.

World Israel News Huckabee has endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to apply sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria. While as ambassador, he does not have discretion regarding American policy vis-a-vis Israel, he would “anything” he can to help promote efforts to extend Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

“I also very much believe that the people of Israel deserve a secure and safe country and I will do anything I can that will help and accommodate this goal.”

“Of course, I will not be the one to make the policy, but I will carry out the president’s policy. But there has never been a U.S. president who has been more helpful in ensuring the sovereignty of Israel. No one has done more for Israel, including recognition of the Golan Heights, than President Trump.”

A long-time supporter of Israel and the settlement movement in Judea and Samaria, Huckabee has in the past rejected the two-state solution and seemingly endorsed the voluntary transfer of Palestinian Arabs out of the area. He suggested that Palestinian Arabs be resettled in “a territory that [is] in the hands of Muslims, in the hands of Arabs.”
