Speaking at a White House meeting for US President Donald Trump’s ambassador nominees, Mike Huckabee says he is hoping to arrive in Israel by Passover, which starts on April 12.

“Mike is going to do wonders for Israel. He actually probably gets along with both sides. That’ll be interesting to see. The world is watching you, Mike, so good luck,” Trump says in response.
