President-elect Donald Trump announced he will nominate former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as U.S. ambassador to Israel.
Huckabee has a close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has also repeatedly expressed support for Jewish settlers and has backed the idea of Israel annexing parts of the occupied West Bank.
Israel already has its most pro-settler government in history, and some on the Israeli right now hope Trump’s second administration will be the most pro-settler ever in the U.S.
