<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Wednesday, former Arkansas GOP governor and staunch Evangelical Christian Mike Huckabee was confirmed as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel in a 53-46 vote mostly along party lines in the Senate, with Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman being the lone Democrat to vote for him.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Confirmed, 53-46: Confirmation of Executive Calendar #67 Mike Huckabee to be Ambassador to the State of Israel.</p>
<p>&mdash; Senate Cloakroom (@SenateCloakroom) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenateCloakroom/status/1910015728457318844?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 9, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Mike has been a lifelong friend of Israel and an ardent supporter and defender of Israel’s right to exist,” Arkansas GOP senator Tom Cotton <a href="https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/speeches/cotton-supports-mike-huckabees-confirmation-as-ambassador-to-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> in championing the nomination. “ In 1973, Mike made his first trip to Israel as a recent high school graduate. The experience of visiting the Biblical sites at the center of history had such a profound impact on the 17-year-old Mike Huckabee that he would go on to lead tens of thousands of people on similarly life-changing visits.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2017, Huckabee made it clear that he believed that the Biblical lands of Judea and Samaria — where virtually all the events recorded in the Bible took place — were part of the Jewish homeland, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/01/03/politics/huckabee-west-bank-settlements/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a>, “I think Israel has title deed to Judea and Samaria. There are certain words I refuse to use. There is no such thing as a West Bank. It’s Judea and Samaria. There’s no such thing as a settlement. They’re communities; they’re neighborhoods; they’re cities. There’s no such thing as an occupation.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Even before President Trump moved the American embassy to Jerusalem in his first term, Huckabee said, “The only people who have ever had Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) as a capital have been the Jews. Nobody else has ever made this city a capital, ever. So it shouldn’t even be controversial. Now it will be, but it shouldn’t be.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2015, Huckabee <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/huckabee-two-state-solution-is-irrational-unworkable-plenty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> bluntly, “I think it&#8217;s time for us to quit playing this pretentious game that there&#8217;s gonna be a two-state solution where both sides share the same country and real estate and streets &#8217;cause they&#8217;re not. One of the sides, the Palestinians, continue to say that Israel doesn&#8217;t have a right to exist. You can&#8217;t forge an alliance with that.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“We never can accept the notion that Israel will be divided,” he continued, saying the boundaries of Israel were given “not by the United Nations but by almighty God.”</p>
