U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee Visits Jerusalem, Reaffirms Support for Israel

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visited Jerusalem on Friday, signaling Washington’s strong and continued backing of its key Middle Eastern ally.

Ambassador Huckabee began his visit at the revered Western Wall, where he offered prayers for peace and the safe return of hostages currently held amid the ongoing conflict. His visit serves as a symbolic reaffirmation of the deep-rooted U.S.-Israel alliance.

“Peace in Jerusalem is not just a hope—it is a commitment,” Huckabee stated during his remarks. He stressed that the United States remains fully engaged in supporting Israel’s security and is actively working toward the release of hostages in coordination with international partners.

The ambassador’s visit reflects President Donald Trump’s broader policy directives focused on strengthening ties with Israel and promoting regional stability.

Huckabee, a former governor and outspoken supporter of Israel, is expected to hold several high-level meetings in the coming days to discuss security, humanitarian concerns, and diplomatic strategies.

This early engagement underscores the ambassador’s proactive approach to reinforcing bilateral relations during a critical period for the region.
