(Ministry of Foreign Affairs Press Release)
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee today (Sunday, 7 December 2025) addressed Israel’s ambassadors at the 2025 Heads of Missions Conference.
Ambassador Huckabee emphasized the depth of the partnership between the two countries and Israel’s unique contribution to the security, economy, and resilience of the United States.
He added that every enemy of Israel is an enemy of the United States, and that the Iranian threat is directed at the U.S. as well. On a personal note, he shared that during the past year in Israel, he experienced four wars and ran with all Israelis to shelters, yet stressed: “I’ve been in Washington and in jerusalem – and here I feel safer.”
He mentioned the importance of bringing delegations to Israel, as the delegation he met today of 1,000 pastors from the U.S.—the largest delegation ever organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Friends of Zion, led by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar.
He thanked the Israeli ambassadors and asked them to convey that the United States stands with Israel and benefits from the partnership through medical innovation that saves many American lives, groundbreaking agricultural capabilities, and significant security contributions.
He concluded by saying that he is proud to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel and that the U.S. stands with Israel unapologetically.
