Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with evangelical leaders, including the designated U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, in Washington, D.C., as he met with Evangelical American community leaders ahead of his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Danny Ayalon, Israel’s former Ambassador to the United Nations, wrote on X about the future U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee: “I have known Mike for decades—he is a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people. I look forward to our collaboration in strengthening the unwavering alliance between the State of Israel and the United States.”
Jewish Insider reported that Netanyahu currently has no scheduled meetings with American Jewish leaders, a group with whom he has had a more complex relationship over the years.
Earlier in the day, Orthodox American Jews staged a protest against Netanyahu’s meeting with Trump at the White House, asserting that he should not be welcomed in the U.S. They condemned him, stating, “The murderer Netanyahu is genocidal, anti-Semitic, and irreligious and should not be admitted to America.”
Later in the evening, Netanyahu met with the Trump administration’s Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff, at the Blair House guest residence in Washington, where he is staying this week.
Witkoff was joined by U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, with the ongoing ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza as the primary focus of their discussions.
