Trump Selects Mike Huckabee as US Ambassador to Israel

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and staunch supporter of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, as the US ambassador to Israel. Huckabee's evangelical Christian beliefs align with his pro-Israel stance, viewing the West Bank as biblically part of Israel. This appointment signals Trump's potential policy direction towards stronger support for Israel, contrasting with President Biden's more cautious approach. Huckabee's nomination is part of a broader trend of pro-Israel appointments in Trump's incoming administration.
