President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Mike Huckabee to be the US ambassador to Israel, naming someone who calls himself an “unapologetic Zionist” and who denies the existence of “Palestinians” to the sensitive role.
The former Arkansas governor, who twice ran himself for the Republican nomination in 2008 and 2016, is a Baptist minister and talk-show host who has been outspoken in his support for Israel both before and during the war against Hamas in Gaza.
