Is Trump going to pick Mike Huckabee for ambassador to Israel? That’s what Daily Mail UK claims. Plans also include the relocating of America’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This will really piss off the leftist media hacks and the radical, anti-Jew progressives.

Mike Huckabee is headed back to the Holy Land.
The two-time White House hopeful, former Fox New Channel weekend host and former governor of Arkansas will be America’s next ambassador to Israel, a presidential transition official confirmed to DailyMail.com on Friday. He is scheduled to meet with President-Elect Donald Trump Friday at 2:00 p.m.
Huckabee, an ordained Baptist preacher and electric bass player, will become the tip of Trump’s spear as he seeks to shake up U.S. foreign relations in the Middle East, beginning with relocating America’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
‘That’s going to happen,’ the transition official said. ‘Governor Huckabee is going to see it through.’Despite congressional approval for moving the U.S. embassy, American leaders have historically tap-danced around the issue of where in Israel America’s diplomatic footprint should fall.
No other nation has its embassy in Jerusalem.
But Israel’s Knesset and Supreme Court are located in West Jerusalem. The nation captured East Jerusalem in the 1967 ‘Six-Day War,’ taking control of it from Jordan.
An Israeli law in force since 1980 declares that ‘Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel.’
