In 2025, Huckabee was appointed by President Donald Trump as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, a role in which he has been an outspoken advocate for Israeli sovereignty and a critic of Palestinian statehood. He has publicly dismissed the two-state solution, referring to the West Bank as "Judea and Samaria," and has emphasized the importance of recognizing Israel's historical and religious claims to the land. His tenure has been marked by strong support for Israeli policies, including settlement expansion, and a critical stance toward international bodies like the United Nations and media outlets such as The New York Times, which he accuses of undermining humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
