US Israel

Regardless of the reason, now is the time for Israel to address this issue head-on before a future Republican isolationist or Progressive Democratic president takes the initiative first.

Huckabee 'brings moral clarity, unwavering support for Israel, and will serve as the greatest US ambassador to Israel in history,' Friends of Zion Museum founder Mike Evans said.

He also briefly spoke of plans for a “Golden Dome” modeled off of Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system.

Previous polls taken during the Israel-Hamas war have shown that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to blame Israel for the fighting.

"There is an increased Iranian effort to smuggle money to Lebanon for Hezbollah, including via Turkey," the foreign minister said.

While mentioning "a future for Gaza" and a "future for peace," Netanyahu did not speak of Trump's plans for the future of the strip. 

Trump's plans to turn Gaza into a 'Riviera' were met with a split camp, with some praising his creativity, and others trying to return the focus back to the hostages.

By swiftly inviting Netanyahu to the White House, Trump is sending a clear message to the region and beyond: Netanyahu and Israel are his close friends.

Israel's new ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, is optimistic about navigating complex international relationships.
