Former Governor of Arkansas, former Baptist pastor, Mike Huckabee is the U.S. Ambassador to Israel under Donald Trump. But under Huckabee, that position should be renamed, because Huckabee is not the ambassador for the United States; he is an ambassador for Israel. Like almost everyone in Trump's administration and most of the members of the U.S. Congress, Huckabee is an Israeli asset representing Benjamin Netanyahu and the Zionist regime inside the United States.

Huckabee has been a Zionist shill going back to his preaching days; and he has been a globalist-controlled insider all of his political life.

Huckabee has always had a close association with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). When he ran for president in 2008, CFR president Richard Haass was his chief political advisor on foreign affairs. Haass was one of the CFR's loudest proponents for individual nation-states (including America) surrendering their national sovereignty to global government.

On January 10, 2008, World Net Daily ran an exposé on Huckabee's globalist predilections and quoted this author in that exposé:

As you read Huckabee's speech, you will find that he is George W. Bush on steroids! This is a man who intends to meddle in the affairs of nations around the world like you can't believe. Talk about entangling alliances: Huckabee intends for our State, Energy, Housing, Education, Justice, Treasury and Transportation departments to spend untold billions of tax dollars on just about anything and everything, including schools, medical facilities, roads, sewage treatment, water filtration, electricity and legal and banking systems in countries all over the globe. And that is exactly the kind of man the Council on Foreign Relations wants in Washington.

As I said, Huckabee has been a Zionist shill going back to his preaching days. And, yes, globalism and Zionism go hand in hand. It's hard to separate one from the other. From economic policies to intelligence policies to military policies to educational policies to domestic policies to foreign policies and, yes, to religious policies, Washington, D.C., takes its lead from Tel Aviv.

And right now, Ambassador Mike Huckabee makes Joseph Goebbels look like a rank amateur in the art of propaganda. Huckabee is a master.

Recently, Christian patriarchs of Jerusalem published a joint letter condemning the nefarious effects that Christian Zionism is inflicting in the Holy Land. They wrote:

Recent activities undertaken by local individuals who advance damaging ideologies, such as Christian Zionism, mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our ?ock. These undertakings have found favor among certain political actors in Israel and beyond who seek to push a political agenda which may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East.

Immediately, Israel's ambassador and top pitchman, Mike Huckabee, swung into action.

In his X post, Huckabee fired back at the Christian leaders in Jerusalem:

My Christian faith is built on the foundation of Judaism and without it, Christianity would not exist. Without the Judeo-Christian worldview, there would be no Western Civilization, and without Western Civilization, there would be no America.

Everything Huckabee just said in that paragraph is rank heresy. 

Huckabee openly admits that his religious faith is founded on Judaism. But Judaism has nothing to do with the religion of Old Testament Israel. Judaism is the religion of the Pharisees who hated and crucified Christ. Christianity was birthed by Jesus Christ, not by Judaism. There is no such thing as a "Judeo-Christian worldview." One's worldview is either Christian or Judaistic; it cannot be both. Judaism did NOT create Western Civilization or the United States. Christianity did.

Mike Huckabee is delusional, and he hucks his delusion like P.T. Barnum hucked circuses.

He also wrote:

[I believe that God keeps His covenants and] that includes His covenant with Abraham and the Jewish people.

Once again, Huckabee demonstrates that he has ZERO understanding of Christ's New Covenant.

As with all Christian Zionists, Huckabee is an Old Covenant "Christian." God's covenant with Abraham is not fulfilled in the atheistic, murderous, genocidal Ashkenazi Israelis in Palestine; His covenant was fulfilled in Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:16) and in all of those (Jews or Gentiles) who put their faith in Christ (Romans 2:28, 29).

Again, Huckabee writes:

It's hard for me to understand why everyone who takes on the moniker "Christian" would not also be a Zionist.

"Moniker"? Being a Christian is not a "moniker"; it is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Huckabee is implying that people who are not Zionists are not Christians. Huckabee is a false prophet, and his own words condemn him.

I suppose it never dawned on Huckabee that there was no such thing as Christian Zionism until the latter part of the 19th century with the false prophets John Darby and Cyrus Scofield introducing this heresy. That's 1,800 years of Church history with Christians never hearing about, much less promoting, the doctrines of Christian Zionism.

Think of all the great Christian leaders from the Apostle Paul to Charles Spurgeon: None of them taught Christian Zionism. In fact, both men rejected this heresy. In Paul's day, the closest things to modern Zionists were Judaizers, and the Apostle Paul considered them the chief enemy of the Church. (Galatians 3:1; Titus 1:10, 11) And Spurgeon, who was a contemporary of Darby, vehemently denounced Darby's heretical teaching. 

Listen to Spurgeon's repudiation of Darbyism (aka Christian Zionism):

"We never know what we shall hear next, and perhaps it is a mercy that these absurdities are revealed at one time, in order that we may be able to endure their stupidity without dying of amazement. Why, every child of God in every place stands on the same footing; the Lord has not some children best beloved, some second-rate offspring, and others whom he hardly cares about."

"Israel in the covenant of grace is not natural Israel [not the nation of flesh and blood Israel], but all believers in all ages.

And also recently, Mike Huckabee showed his true Israel-first colors when he deliberately concealed Israel's hostility toward American Christians.

My friend Jana (pronounced Yawnah) Bennun (and her husband Stephen) at IsraeliNewsLive.org tells the story:

You are a useful Shabbos goy, Huckabee.

Most American Christians have no idea what actually happened behind the scenes between Israel's Interior Ministry and Evangelical organizations in 2025, because the truth was handled quietly and only revealed after a letter leaked to the Israeli press.

Here is what actually occurred.

Beginning in early 2025, Israel's Ministry of the Interior abruptly changed a long-standing policy governing clergy visas for American Evangelical Christian organizations. Ministries that had operated legally in Israel for decades, some since before 1948, suddenly found their routine visa renewals denied or subjected to intrusive investigations.

Evangelical pastors and ministry workers were forced to fill out extensive questionnaires about their beliefs, activities, and assets. No laws were cited. They were simply told they were now "under investigation."

As a result, not a single new A3 clergy visa was issued to these organizations for months.

It was a systemic halt and it targeted Evangelicals specifically.

The U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, became aware that the situation was not improving but deteriorating. In his own words, the situation "actually got worse." Yet while this was happening, American Christians were told nothing. Lawyers were hired. Visas expired and anxiety spread.

Donations continued as usual, with Christians unaware that their presence in Israel was being actively obstructed and not welcomed.

Huckabee chose not to warn the Christian public.

Instead, he worked privately. He met quietly with Israeli officials. When those meetings failed, he sent a strongly worded letter to Israel's Interior Minister on July 16, 2025 - a letter never intended for Christians to see.

That letter was a warning.

In it, Huckabee stated that the Interior Ministry had "arbitrarily ceased honoring" the recommendations of Israel's own Ministry of Religious Affairs and had made matters worse after promising to resolve them. He writes that the United States and Evangelical organizations "feel we are being treated as adversaries."

Then comes the critical paragraph - the one Christians were never told about.

Huckabee warns that if the situation is not resolved, the U.S. Embassy would be forced to publicly announce throughout the United States that Israel is no longer welcoming Christian organizations and is instead engaging in harassment.

He explicitly stated that American Christians would be warned that their generosity is being met with hostility and that tourists should reconsider travel to Israel. He even raises the possibility of reciprocal treatment of Israeli citizens seeking visas to the United States.

This letter was a threat to expose the truth.

Only after the letter leaked to Israeli media - only after the possibility of public embarrassment, financial consequences, and Evangelical backlash became real, did Israel's Interior Ministry act. Reluctantly.

Only then was the policy reversed.

And only then - after the policy reversal, did Huckabee go public, declaring the matter "fully resolved" and praising Israeli leadership.

What he did not do was ask the obvious question: why did this happen at all?

Why did it require a threat to warn Christians worldwide before Israel corrected a policy that violated decades of precedent?

Why did Huckabee admit to reporters that the situation had worsened, yet remain silent to the very Christians whose clergy were being blocked?

And most importantly, why is he now pretending this was a minor bureaucratic misunderstanding?

This was not a small thing.

It revealed how fragile Christian tolerance in Israel actually is. And it confirmed what many already know but few leaders are willing to say out loud: Christianity is tolerated in Israel only for strategic reasons.

Christians are not truly welcomed in Israel. They are tolerated as long as their money, political backing, and public support are useful. Even now, the welcome is conditional and not rooted in genuine respect.

When the support is no longer needed, neither will Christians be.

Huckabee knows this. Instead of telling Christians the truth, he chose silence and instead of confronting the deeper, real issue, he declared victory and moved on.

Huckabee chose to calm donors instead of confronting the underlying reality.

The visa crisis was not a glitch. It was a preview of the future.  

Hear, Hear, Jana! Thank you for this exposé.

As is our president, Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee is a disgrace! He is a disgrace to the people of the United States; he is a disgrace to the U.S. Constitution, which he took an oath to preserve, protect and defend; and he is a disgrace to the New Covenant Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sadly, and tragically, Mike Huckabee is representative of millions of evangelicals who are not America-first; they are Israel-first. Neither are they disciples of Jesus Christ and His New Covenant; they are disciples of Benjamin Netanyahu and his antichrist doctrines of political Zionism.
