Ambassador Huckabee Places Trump Prayer at Wall

Mike Huckabee, the newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to Israel, marked his first official act by placing a handwritten prayer from former President Donald Trump reading 'For peace in Israel. D.T.' into the Western Wall in Jerusalem during Passover and Holy Week. The prayer was delivered at Trump’s directive and symbolized continued U.S. support for Israel and hopes for the safe return of hostages. Huckabee was received with a formal ceremony attended by religious leaders and emphasized America's commitment to Israel, stating he would represent Trump’s policies on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The visit builds on the Trump administration’s history of backing Israel, including the 2018 embassy move to Jerusalem. Huckabee’s appointment and first act were widely covered and welcomed by Israeli leaders as a signal of close bilateral ties. The visit took place amid ongoing regional tensions and violence.
