U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Sunday at a JNS policy conference that he feels safer in Jerusalem than in what he called "crazy town" Washington, D.C. The remark reinforces his public embrace of Israel as a secure and dependable ally.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made the remark during the JNS 2026 International Policy Conference on Sunday evening, contrasting his sense of safety in Jerusalem with a characterization of Washington, D.C. as 'crazy town.' The comment follows a series of recent statements by Huckabee emphasizing Israel's reliability and divine covenant as sources of strength—as The Zioneer reported in recent weeks—and continues his pattern of framing the U.S.-Israel relationship in terms of shared values rather than transactional politics. The remark adds no specific policy announcement but resonates within his established public posture as a staunch advocate for Israeli sovereignty and security.
