If there’s one thing former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is confident about, it’s that a second Trump presidency would bring a “change of biblical proportion” to the Middle East. And if history is any indication, he’s absolutely right.
The Trump administration stood by Israel without hesitation, forging historic peace deals and ensuring America’s strongest ally in the region had the support it needed. Contrast that with the Biden administration, which often left Israel out in the cold, dragging its feet on diplomacy and failing to back the Jewish state with the same conviction.

“What the Israelis want is something simple: They want peace. They want their people home,” Huckabee said on Fox News. But peace isn’t possible as long as Hamas is still in play. “They have said even as recent as two weeks ago that they would try to do another October the 7th. So, let’s not be in any way fooled that they want peace. They don’t. They want the destruction of the Jewish state.”
Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war has been weak at best, with indecision and wavering support. Meanwhile, under Trump, the Middle East saw “real significant peace,” as Huckabee pointed out. The Abraham Accords, brokered under Trump, were a game-changer—something the Biden White House has done little to build upon.
Huckabee also dismissed the idea of a two-state solution, a concept often pushed by European and Arab nations. “They militarily marched 10,000 Jewish people out of Gaza, turned it into a complete Palestinian state, and the result we saw [on] Oct. 7,” he reminded viewers.
As Huckabee awaits Senate confirmation as U.S. Ambassador to Israel, he knows the stakes couldn’t be higher.
“I think that our country needs our ambassador in place in this very, very delicate and difficult region,” he stated. Hopefully, even Democrats will realize that delay is not an option.
With President Trump having returned to the White House, Huckabee is “very optimistic” about the future. “I think we will see something of biblical proportion happen with his leadership in the Middle East.”
