Newly confirmed U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee commenced his tenure with a visit to the Western Wall, where he placed a prayer from President Trump. Huckabee emphasized the importance of this gesture, acknowledging Trump's desire for peace in Jerusalem as well as his support for Israel. His visit comes amid ongoing tension regarding Israeli settlements and the status of Jerusalem, where Trump's embassy move in 2017 has impacted the region significantly. Huckabee, known for his staunch pro-Israel stance, aims to strengthen U.S.-Israel relations during his ambassadorship.
Huckabee stated, 'What an honor it is for me to come on behalf of the president of the United States, President Donald Trump, to present a prayer that he handwrote.'
Huckabee remarked, 'I was instructed by President Trump that my first act as ambassador would be to take his prayer for peace in Jerusalem to the wall and pray.'
