U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee responded Tuesday evening to President Trump, asserting that without Israel and its Jewish foundation, America would not exist. The remark, posted on social media, comes amid public back-and-forth between the two on the sources of American strength.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee responded Tuesday evening to former President Donald Trump, stating that "without Israel and the Jewish foundation, there would be no America." The remark, which Huckabee framed as a direct answer to Trump, was posted on social media and quickly circulated.
This is the latest in a series of public statements by Huckabee on Israel's role in American identity. As The Zioneer has reported, Huckabee previously said that American support is the secret of Israel's strength, and at a Jerusalem summit he argued that Israel thrives because of a divine covenant. The ambassador has also shared op-eds urging Israeli self-reliance amid the U.S.-Iran deal.
The current exchange with Trump adds a new dimension to Huckabee's public positioning. The precise context of Trump's original comment to which Huckabee is responding was not detailed in the broadcast. The remark is unverified beyond the ambassador's social media post.
