Mike Huckabee
The U.S. president has been clear: Tehran will never get the bomb, the American ambassador said,
The ceremony was in honor of the 46 Americans and 23 dual U.S.-Israeli citizens murdered by Hamas-led terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and several prominent Israeli Ministers and Knesset Members headline the inaugural event in Jerusalem.
The Israeli prime minister “expressed his appreciation for the deep ties between Israel and the United States,” per an Israeli readout.
In Jerusalem ceremony, he affirms commitment to strengthening bilateral relations and confronting threats like Iran.
The empty tomb is believed by some—particularly evangelicals and other Protestants—to be the location of Jesus’s burial and resurrection.
Hamas brought the Gaza war upon themselves, the ambassador said, adding that “Everything that people see there is not the result of anything other than the vicious hatred that Hamas harbors and carried out on October the 7th.”
“This is not a trip but a complete move,” said the former Arkansas governor.
“I look forward to working with you to make the unbreakable bond between our two nations even stronger,” wrote the Israeli prime minister.
“To execute on President Trump’s iron clad support of Israel, we urgently need a qualified ambassador in the region,” said Sen. Jim Risch. “I have no doubt Gov. Huckabee is that person.”
“His deep understanding and love for Israel and its people will undoubtedly make him an exceptional ambassador,” wrote Sen. John Boozman.
“Mike is going to do wonders for Israel. He actually probably gets along with both sides,“ said U.S. President Donald Trump.
