Part 12/14:
This appointment underlines Trump's intent to reinforce close U.S.-Israel ties, a cornerstone of his foreign policy agenda. Huckabee’s longstanding support for Israel, driven by deep religious and political convictions, aligns with Trump's policies and her emphasis on defending Israel’s sovereignty.
Trump lauded Huckabee as a respected figure who will tirelessly work toward regional peace, reflecting the administration’s focus on supporting Israel on the global stage. Huckabee has visited Israel over 100 times and remains an ardent advocate for the Jewish state—traits that serve Trump’s broader Middle East strategy.
