Mike Huckabee appears to be keeping his cards close to the vest for the time being.
The former Republican governor of Arkansas stated shortly after being named President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for US ambassador to Israel: “I won’t make the policy.” I will implement the president’s policy.
However, by pointing to the previous Trump administration’s decisions to relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem and recognize the occupied Golan Heights as Israeli territory—decisions that were both warmly welcomed by the Israeli right wing and flatly rejected by Palestinians—he did provide a hint as to what he expected that policy to be.
He told a radio station in Israel, “No one has done more.” “That’s what President Trump and I absolutely expect to continue.”
