The Zionist Organization of America, the leading major American Jewish organization defending Israel and the Jewish people, said Wednesday it is pleased with what it has seen from President-elect Donald Trump's transition team.
BREITBART -- In a statement posted on its website, the organization said Trump selected respected public servants and extraordinary friends to Israel and the Jewish people to his administration, including Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as secretary of state; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as the U.S. ambassador to Israel; and Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
"There are so many good things to say about all these nominees/appointees," said Morton Klein, the group's national president. "The nominees/appointees are all brilliant and have the right pro-American, pro-Israel ideology and uncommon common sense."
Klein praised Huckabee for speaking out against President Joe Biden's threat to place an arms embargo against Israel and Rubio for co-sponsoring an amendment to keep the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.
