U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee revealed a humorous daily routine during a special Shabbat reception for a delegation of UN ambassadors touring Israel. Speaking to the foreign diplomats, hosted in Israel and led by Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon, Huckabee shared his morning habit under President Donald Trump's administration. "The first thing I do every morning is check President Trump's social media," Huckabee joked. "As you know, he's known for firing people overnight on Twitter. So, before anything else, I make sure I haven't been fired yet. If it turns out I haven't, I get ready, get dressed, and head to the embassy. So far, everything is proceeding normally."
Beyond the humor, the American ambassador spoke warmly about his personal connection to Israel and the diplomatic challenges involved. He described representing Israel on the international stage as "one of the most complex and difficult roles imaginable for a diplomat." On his emotional bond with the country, he added, "Israel may not be my native land, but it has become my home. You can stay here for 200 days and still not see everything, because the interest here is not just in the sights, but in the feelings and experiences. I hope your stay will leave you with a desire to return, just as it has happened to me over the years."
Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, thanked Huckabee for his remarks and hospitality, emphasizing the importance of the meeting. "I am excited to launch the visit to Israel of UN ambassadors from around the world alongside a brave, true friend of the country, Ambassador Huckabee. Our joint Shabbat reception is a clear expression of the strong and unwavering alliance between Jerusalem and Washington, and our determination to stand together against any challenge."
