The Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem hosted a reception on Tuesday for Mike Huckabee, marking his formal welcome as the incoming United States ambassador to Israel
The gala event, spearheaded by Mike Evans, founder of the Friends of Zion and a close adviser to President Donald Trump, drew an influential crowd of ambassadors, lawmakers, and Trump associates from both Israel and the US, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator Ted Cruz.
During a global welcoming event held in the Media center of Friends of Zion Museum, Minister Eli Cohen welcomed Ambassador Mike Huckabee upon his appointment and expressed appreciation for his ongoing support of the State of Israel.
“President Trump did a great deal for the State of Israel – he was the first president to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, he initiated the Abraham Accords, and he made another significant move by appointing you, Mike – a close friend of the State of Israel and the Jewish people – as ambassador,” said Minister Cohen.
