In a video marking his first 100 days as the US envoy to Israel, Ambassador Mike Huckabee says Operation Midnight Hammer in June “obliterated Iran’s nuclear program.”
He lays out US accomplishments in Israel since he took office, including freeing US citizen Edan Alexander from Gaza, and removing “burdensome bureaucratic hurdles to enable Christian pilgrims to once again visit the Holy Land without impediment.”
“The bonds between Israel and the United States have never been stronger,” says the Baptist minister and former governor. “We’re just getting started. Watch what happens.”
Shortly after his election, @POTUS called me with a clear directive: to enact his policies as the next U.S. Ambassador to @Israel. As I reflect on my first 100 days, I am proud of all that we here at the Embassy and this Administration have accomplished. pic.twitter.com/jYyjjJUjSx
