The mezuzah gifted to Huckabee by Dagan, a longtime friend of the new ambassador, was made by an artist from the Samaria town of Itamar and crafted of stones from Mount Ebal, the site of Joshua’s Altar.

The term 'is not an accurate reflection of the land and its boundaries,' he said.

'Israelis live every day with constant threats from uncivilized savages like Hamas seeking to murder civilians and destroying even the trees,' wrote Mike Huckabee amid rampant calls on Arabic media to commit arson.

Huckabee, an evangelical Christian and former Arkansas governor, recently assumed his post as Washington’s envoy to Jerusalem.

New US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee revealed that an official from the World Health Organization called on him to 'put more pressure on Israel to bring humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.'

At his official welcome in Jerusalem, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee warned that if Iran succeeds in destroying Israel, America will be next—declaring, 'Israel is the appetizer, and the United States is the entrée.'

The newly appointed US Ambassador to Israel visited Jerusalem’s Western Wall early Friday morning, just a day after landing in the country.

During Huckabee’s confirmation hearing in March, he told senators that he personally supported Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

'His deep understanding and love for Israel and its people will undoubtedly make him an exceptional ambassador,' wrote Sen. John Boozman.

'To deny that would be to make it very difficult for us to ever understand how to go forward in a relationship with them,' Gov. Mike Huckabee declared at the Senate hearing for his confirmation as US ambassador to Israel.

The visit is being seen by some as a gesture of solidarity with the Jewish community and a reaffirmation of his longtime support for Israel and Jewish causes.

Mike Huckabee says 'something has to be rethought' in the approach to Gaza, noting that Gaza became a 'Palestinian state' following the expulsion of thousands of Jews in 2005, 'and the results we saw on October 7.'

Huckabee, an evangelical Christian, has been outspoken in his support for Israel.

Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Elise Stefanik as US Ambassador to the UN and Mike Huckabee as US Ambassador to Israel are among the decisive picks announced by Trump's transition team.

There is 'no such thing' as the West Bank and 'there is no 'occupation,'' said former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.

'There's no such thing as an 'occupation.,'' Huckabee emphasized.

Trump’s pick for ambassador to Israel during his first term, David Friedman, praised the president-elect’s selection of Huckabee.

'This is an unspeakable atrocity and an evil that cannot be justified under any circumstance.'

'Giving up real estate and other gestures would not make them hate Israel – or America – any less.'

Huckabee discusses the Israeli-US alliance, adding that Obama's actions towards Israel are 'shameful' and 'disgusting.'

Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said that Obama will “march [the Israelis] to the door of the oven” by reaching a nuclear deal with Iran.
