TL;DR Summary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as the U.S. ambassador to Israel. Huckabee, a strong supporter of Israeli settlements and annexation of the West Bank, has a close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This nomination aligns with the pro-settler stance of Israel's current government and raises expectations among Israeli right-wing factions for increased U.S. support for annexation under Trump's administration. The move could further complicate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and international relations.
