Now more than ever, we need a strong ambassador to Israel who will put mainstream American interests first, not press their own personal, unhinged views.

A US Ambassador to Israel, especially at this moment, must firmly stand up for Israel's security while also standing up for our shared values, hostage families, human rights and America's strategic interests – and be ready to push back on Netanyahu's government when necessary.

Huckabee’s embrace of annexation, extremist settlers and fanatical Christian Zionism stands in stark contrast to our Jewish, democratic values as well as to Israel's founding values of justice, equality and peace.

Huckabee’s testimony and record give no indication that he’s up to the task. He’s unfit to fill this crucially important post.

We strongly urge our senators to vote no on his confirmation.

Sincerely,
The undersigned
