Amb. Huckabee opens ambassador program with forceful call to stand with Israel

Almost Heaven

Well-known
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee delivered the keynote address at the opening of the Ambassador Program, setting a commanding tone for an unprecedented gathering of one thousand Christian leaders and influencers brought to Israel in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During his speech, Huckabee focused on the deep strategic and moral bond between Israel and the United States, describing the delegation’s arrival as “nothing short of a miracle.” Highlighting Israel’s status as the region’s only democracy and pointed to its protection of religious freedom, he noted, “I have seen how Christian holy sites are protected with the same seriousness as Jewish and Muslim sites.”

Huckabee also stressed that threats to Israel are directly connected to threats against the United States. “Let us never forget that every enemy of Israel is an enemy of the United States. Israel is the appetizer. The main course is America.”

Addressing the war with Hamas, he noted: “The war could have ended on October 8, had Hamas released all the hostages.” Regarding the determination to bring the hostages back, Huckabee said, “Any parent would do everything in their power to bring their child back.”

“Seven hundred thousand Americans live in Israel. Any attack on Israel is also an attack on us,” he added.

Huckabee also called on the leaders to return to the United States and speak the truth about Israel, actively confronting misleading statements, including those made by Tucker Carlson: “When public figures speak carelessly, it fuels misinformation. When someone says things about Israel that are not true, you have the responsibility to use your freedom of speech, to respond, to stand up, and to say: not in our country. America will not stand silent. You must confront falsehood wherever it appears and guide your communities with firsthand facts, clarity, and conviction.”

I think he is the right man for the job.

Name dropping moment - Shortly after Trump won his first election, Huckabee was sitting right across from me on an airplane heading to Portland. When we stood up to get off the plane, I shook his hand and told him the wrong Huckabee was in the Whitehouse, reference to his daughter being the WH Spokesperson, vice Huckabee winning the Presidential election in 2017. - I voted for Trump, but wanted to say something nice to him. It was kind of shocking seeing him traveling by himself. I found out later he was on his way to a Pastors conference.
