Huckabee pick as Israeli ambassador reflects long evangelical alliance
Briefly

Huckabee, speaking on his appointment, stated, 'Without any apology, I believe those who bless Israel will be blessed, those who curse Israel will be cursed. I want to be on the blessing side.' His firm endorsement of the biblical directive underscores the deep-rooted belief among evangelicals that supporting Israel is a sacred obligation driven by divine command.
Daniel Hummel, a religious historian, remarked, 'Christian Zionists have never been as close to the center of the conversation, so in that sense, it's a real victory for them. To have Huckabee representing evangelicals ... this is their time.' This highlights the significant progress evangelicals have made in U.S. foreign policy discussions regarding Israel.
Trump expressed confidence in Huckabee's ability to serve, stating, 'Huckabee will work tirelessly to bring about Peace in the Middle East,' illustrating the expectation placed on him to bridge the gap between U.S. policy and evangelical support for Israel.
