Mike Huckabee has been confirmed as the US ambassador to Israel by the United States Senate. The former Arkansas governor has been a strong supporter of Israel, but his previous positions on Palestinians have been questioned by Democrats. Huckabee has not commented on his views regarding the West Bank and Trump's position on the Gaza Strip. Despite his confirmation, Huckabee's testimony during Senate questioning is unlikely to have gained much new support from Democrats in Congress.
