President Donald Trump's nominee for ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, will face a confirmation hearing on Tuesday. Huckabee, a well-known evangelical Christian and supporter of Israel, has taken stances on the conflict that contradict longstanding U.S. policy. He has spoken favorably about Israel's right to annex the West Bank and opposes a two-state solution. Huckabee will likely be asked about ongoing Israeli military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon and threats from Iran. In his prepared remarks, Huckabee plans to praise Trump's policies towards Israel, including the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital and the Abraham Accords.
