US Ambassador-designate Mike Huckabee arrived in Israel on Thursday and will officially take up his position in Jerusalem next week.
The former Arkansas governor landed in Israel toward the end of the week-long Passover holiday and ahead of Easter Sunday after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate last week. He will present his credentials to Israel President Isaac Herzog on Monday at an official ceremony in Jerusalem.
“We are on our way to Israel,” Huckabee tweeted on Wednesday, ahead of the transatlantic flight with his wife Janet and their two dogs. “Our dogs have no idea how long this flight is going to be so don’t tell them. This is not a trip but a complete move.”
AFSI congratulates US Ambassador-Designate Mike Huckabee on his appointment. As a life-long staunch supporter of Israel, we have no doubt he will continue to advocate for the truth and strengthen Israel at this critical time in the Jewish Nation State’s history.
