U.S. ambassador addresses Knesset caucus session marking 250 years of American independence.
S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee joined senior Israeli lawmakers at the Knesset on Tuesday, declaring that Israel is the United States’ “true and unparalleled partner” amid regional instability and rising global antisemitism.
The session of the Knesset Caucus for Israel–U.S. Relations, initiated by the Ruderman Family Foundation and chaired by Knesset Member Ohad Tal, marked the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. It brought together Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and coalition and opposition lawmakers in a rare bipartisan show of alignment on the strategic importance of the alliance.
“There are many countries with which we have alliances,” Huckabee said. “But there is only one country in the world with which we have a true and unparalleled partnership, and that is Israel.”
