Israel Natl News: ZOA’s Mort Klein Criticizes Lack of Bipartisan Support for Israel Amb. Nominee Mike Huckabee

ZOA: Lack of bipartisan support for Huckabee 'deeply troubling'

(April 3, 2025 / Arutz Sheva) Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein criticized the lack of bipartisan support for the nomination of former Arkansas Mike Huckabee as U.S. Ambassador to Israel after his nomination was advanced in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a party-line vote.

“The lack of bipartisan support for the confirmation of Gov. Mike Huckabee to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to Israel is deeply troubling. Gov. Huckabee, a Christian Zionist, is a strong friend to our country’s ally – Israel – and was rightfully recognized with the ZOA’s prestigious Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Defender of Israel Award," Klein wrote. Ardent Zionist Klein was also asked annually by Huckabee to speak to Huckabee’s large Christian Zionist Group he brought to Israel each year.

"The fact that Gov. Huckabee’s confirmation, to serve as the country’s ambassador to Israel, is being challenged over his opposition to rewarding terrorists with statehood is disturbing. The overwhelming majority of Israelis – both the populace and their government similarly oppose the creation of a Palestinian state which will, no doubt, continue to serve as a base for launching continuous terror attacks against Israel and the Jewish people. Similarly baffling is the opposition to Huckabee’s support for applying Israeli sovereignty over parts of Israel’s ancient and biblical homeland – Judea and Samaria – currently home to almost a million Jews and land that was designated for the Jewish State by Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations, international law, not to mention G-D almighty in the Bible.
