Mike Huckabee: The First Thing I’ll Do Is Place A Prayer In The Western Wall

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — US Ambassador-Elect to Israel Mike Huckabee spoke in an interview on Fox news about how he plans to begin his tenure as ambassador in Israel.

“The first thing I’m going to do is to take a prayer that the President gave me on Thursday when I met with him at the White House, and I’m going to take it to the Western Wall, and I’m going to place it there on behalf of the American people.”

Huckabee was confirmed last week by the Senate by a majority of 53 to 46. The incoming ambassador has been a longtime supporter of Israel, which he has said is rooted in his religious faith. He’s visited Israel more than 100 times.

He’s also encouraged Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria. While running for president in 2008, Huckabee claimed “there’s really no such thing as a Palestinian.”
