U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said Wednesday evening that anyone who claims there is no direct connection between the Jewish people and the land of Israel has closed their eyes, ears, and heart to what even the stones cry out. He called the Jewish presence in the land a divine plan that should be celebrated, as posted on social media.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Wednesday evening issued a statement on social media reaffirming his view of Jewish sovereignty in the land of Israel as a divinely ordained plan. In his remarks, Huckabee asserted a direct, inalienable link between the Jewish people and the land, dismissing any denial of that bond as willful blindness to evident truth.
Huckabee's latest remarks align with his consistent public stance since assuming his post. As The Zioneer has reported, he has previously described American support as the key to Israel's strength, while also arguing that Israel's success derives from a divine covenant rather than military or economic metrics. On Tuesday evening, he responded to President Trump, asserting that without Israel's Jewish foundation, America itself would not exist — a statement that drew both support and criticism.
The ambassador's comments do not announce a policy change or new diplomatic initiative; they reflect his long-standing theological and political worldview. These statements come amid ongoing public debate, including among U.S. officials, over the basis of Israeli and American strength.
