WASHINGTON D.C (VINnews)-Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., on Monday called for the immediate resignation of U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, accusing him of failing in his core duty to protect American citizens and interests while acting as an apologist for the Israeli government.

In a video statement released Monday, Van Hollen said: “It’s time for our American ambassador in Israel, Mike Huckabee, to resign. The job of an American ambassador is to defend and protect the interests of the United States of America. Ambassador Huckabee has failed to do that. He’s become an apologist for the extremist government in Israel.”
Van Hollen criticized Huckabee for what he described as insufficient condemnation of violence against American citizens in the West Bank, including incidents involving settlers and Israeli forces. He referenced cases of Americans allegedly beaten or killed and faulted the ambassador for prioritizing support for Israeli policy over U.S. interests. Van Hollen also pointed to Huckabee’s past comments on “Greater Israel” and his public identification as a Christian living comfortably in the Holy Land, arguing the ambassador has neglected the concerns of local Christian communities.
Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and longtime evangelical supporter of Israel, was nominated by President Trump and confirmed as ambassador. He has consistently defended Israel’s security policies and the U.S.-Israel alliance.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) praised Van Hollen’s remarks, saying the ambassador’s “personal ideological and theological allegiance” had compromised his ability to represent all American citizens equally.
Critics of the senator’s position, including pro-Israel voices, argued that strong support for Israel — America’s closest ally in the Middle East — is being treated as a disqualifying stance. Some noted Van Hollen has not issued similar calls regarding other U.S. diplomats in the region, including Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack, who has faced separate criticism over his approach to Turkish and regional policy.
Huckabee posted on X: “I’m doing something right! Sen Chris Van Hollen (Wasting Away in Margaritaville) & Pro-Hamas CAIR want me to resign.”
“Senator, I will if YOU will. I’ll go see my grandkids & you can take MS-13 gangbangers out for Margaritas like you did before.”

Contemporary Dems are a party of antisemitism.
It is time for Hamas Nazi Supporter Chris to resign for being an terrorist supporting Jew hater, criminal illegal alien supporting scumbag.
Sen. Van Hollen, do you know what you’re talking about?? Mike Huckabee is a defender of everything American!!! He is doing the right thing!!!!!
GO TO HELL VAN HOLLEN!
GO TO HELL VAN HOLLEN!
GO TO HELL VAN HOLLEN ALONG WITH ALL THE ANTI SEMITES IF THIS ORPHANED GENERATION!
HASHEM PLEASE SAVE US! HASHEM PLEASE HELP US! HASHEM PLEASE EMBRACE US!
Chris Hamas Von Hollen should be charged with aiding and abetting criminals and giving aid and comfort to terrorists.
Wake up Americans. This is Berlin 1936.
If you have not seriously considered or talked about moving to Eretz Yisroel, it’s high time to do so. You can sell your home now (not as much as 3 years ago, but WAY more than 3 years from now). You do not need to own an apartment in Israel. You can rent here. The current rental market is favorable. Here is the roadmap: The most important thing you can do for yourself and your family is immerse yourself in shiurim, classes, many lectures in Navi, Tanya, Teachings of Rebbi Nachman, Shaar Bitachon (I recommend Rabbi Mendel Kaplan of Toronto for this, his 150+ hour series changed my life, day by day over 2.5 years) -all available online 24/7. [Note: I am not chassidish, chabad, or other just an MO yid that opened my mind]…Listen when you drive, when you exercise, when you food shop. It will seep in. Do not speak at all during tefilla. Ever. Especially with your tefillin on. But really ever. Daven to Hashem that you should understand the magnitude of the tefilla connection to Him. Do not pay any attention to the distractions in the Minyan, everything is a gift for YOU to be able to develop a deepend level of kavana. Read as much Aryeh Kaplan as you can get your hands on. As your mindset changes and Hashem opens the flow of Daas (it starts as a trickle, even for years) do not try to ‘fix’ the people around you, keep working ONLY on yourself and your awareness of Hashem’s presence will increase tenfold. Read 7 Habits of Effective People (yes, Steven Covey) and also Shmuel Diamond’s A Blessed Life. Ultimately you will actually separate your ego from your mind and you will have moments of utter clarity and be able to make hard decisions that require a true leap of faith. In one of those moments, you will leave America and all it’s richness behind to return to Our Father’s Home, where he is awaiting your arrival to help you fulfill the rest of your life’s journey. Hatlocha Raba!
“He should resign today” you say. Well, you should have died yesterday you venomous snake. It should have been you instead of Senator Graham!
