Trump Selects Mike Huckabee as U.S. Ambassador to Israel

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as the U.S. ambassador to Israel, marking the first non-Jewish person in the role since 2011. Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israel, is expected to face significant challenges, including ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.
