U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckaby stated that President Donald Trump is prepared to cooperate with Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party, should he be appointed Prime Minister of Israel. Huckaby emphasized that Washington will respect the will of the Israeli people and work with whichever government is elected.
"The people have voted, of course, we will work with the government that was chosen by the people," Huckaby said in an interview with Israeli media, responding to a question about U.S. readiness to collaborate with Eisenkot. He clarified that previous support for the incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the Knesset election campaign did not signify the White House's unwillingness to engage with other political figures.
Huckaby highlighted Washington's consistent approach to international relations, noting that "President Trump has repeatedly proven that he is ready to work with people all over the world across the entire political spectrum." Regarding potential U.S. interference in the Israeli cabinet formation process, such as official invitations to party leaders to visit the White House, Huckaby indicated there was no precise information about such plans but did not entirely rule out the possibility of such diplomatic steps.
Earlier, the President of Israel officially tasked Gadi Eisenkot with forming a new government following the elections.
