In today's episode, we explore the journey of Mike Huckabee, recently appointed as the US Ambassador to Israel. Huckabee reflects on his over 50-year relationship with Israel, his strong ties with leaders like Prime Minister Netanyahu, and his steadfast support based on biblical principles. We discuss President Trump's unexpected nomination, making him the first non-Jewish evangelical Christian in this role in two decades. We'll examine the enthusiastic support from American evangelicals, the skepticism from some Jewish Democrats, and Huckabee's views on challenges such as Iranian-funded terrorism and promoting peace through economic opportunities for Palestinians. Join us for an insightful conversation on faith, diplomacy, and a hopeful vision for the Middle East.
