MIL-OSI USA: Ricketts Comments on Mike Huckabee Confirmation

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE), a senior member of the Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement after voting to confirm Mike Huckabee, President Trump’s nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Israel:

“We need an Ambassador to Israel who won’t waver in his support for our greatest partner in the Middle East. Mike Huckabee is that person. He knows that Hamas should have no future in Gaza. He will support Israel as it defends itself against Iran and its proxies. He will also continue the successful work of the first Trump administration in normalizing relations between Israel and its neighbors.”
