TL;DR

Speaking Wednesday at the Herzliya Conference, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said America would not exist without the Jewish people, adding that the Founding Fathers understood this. The remarks echo a series of similar statements by Huckabee linking Jewish and American identity, as reported by Abu Ali Express.

01 · THE DISPATCH

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee delivered remarks Wednesday morning at the Herzliya Conference, stating that 'without the Jewish people, America would not have come into existence at all,' adding that 'our Founding Fathers in America understood this.' The comments, reported by Abu Ali Express, are the latest in a series of statements by Huckabee asserting that the U.S. and its founding are fundamentally linked to Jewish history and values.

As The Zioneer has reported, Huckabee made a similar claim on social media last week, stating that without Israel and its Jewish foundation there would be no America, and has repeatedly defended the idea that the U.S.-Israel bond is unbreakable. The Herzliya Conference remarks were delivered in a live setting rather than a social media post, but contain the same core assertion. No additional policy announcements or substantive details accompanied the statement.
