Bill > SR34

This resolution supports the nomination of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as the United States Ambassador to Israel, highlighting his qualifications and expressing strong backing for his potential diplomatic role. The resolution emphasizes Huckabee's unique background as a three-term governor and Baptist minister, noting his extensive support for Israel, frequent visits to the region, and advocacy for Israel's sovereignty and self-defense. It underscores the significance of his nomination as the first non-Jewish U.S. Ambassador to Israel in over a decade, and frames his potential appointment as strategically important in the context of recent Middle Eastern tensions, particularly following the October 7, 2023 attacks. The resolution calls on the Senate to support Huckabee's nomination, urges his swift confirmation, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit the resolution to President Trump, U.S. Senators, and relevant government agencies, with the aim of advancing the U.S.-Israel partnership and promoting regional peace.
