Michael Dale Huckabee, a well-known pro-Israel politician, has been named US ambassador to Israel. Huckabee is a conservative Republican politician, former governor of Arkansas, and pastor of a Baptist church.
He is a strong supporter of Israel and has expressed doubts about nuclear negotiations with Iran. He previously suggested rethinking the approach to fighting ISIS, arguing that the goal should not be to contain Islamist extremists, but to destroy them entirely.
Huckabee, as part of an international delegation, visited Israel to see the consequences of the tragic events of October 7 at Kibbutz Kfar Aza and in the south of the country. He noted that what he saw surpassed all his imagination and called it “the unimaginable horror that people went through.”
“No person should ever be subjected to the level of cruelty and savagery that the people of Israel experienced. I want the entire world to understand what happened here and who did it,” he said.
Michael Huckabee said he hopes American policy will continue to strongly support Israel. During Barack Obama’s administration, he harshly criticized restrictions on settlement construction, accusing then-US leaders of “abandoning Israel.”
