At Western Wall, Huckabee Praises God for Israel’s Protection During War

In a poignant display of solidarity and faith, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visited the Western Wall on Tuesday morning to offer prayers of gratitude following Israel’s decisive Operation Rising Lion against Iran.

Standing at Judaism’s holiest site, Huckabee thanked God for the “miracles granted” to the State of Israel during the recent war. The ambassador, joined by his wife, met with Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, the rabbi of the Western Wall and holy sites, and Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation.

During a private meeting, Rabbi Rabinowitz expressed heartfelt appreciation for Huckabee’s unwavering support for Israel throughout the war. The rabbi also presented Huckabee with a personal letter of thanks for President Donald Trump and extended an invitation for the president to visit the Western Wall.

Huckabee, a long-time supporter of the Jewish state, also offered a prayer for the well-being of President Trump, who played a key role in supporting Israel during the 12-day conflict with Iran. The ambassador emphasized the significance of divine protection, acknowledging the extraordinary outcome of the conflict as nothing short of miraculous.

He concluded his visit with a tour of the Western Wall Tunnels, remarking that he was “heavily impressed” by the enduring historical and spiritual roots of the Jewish people and their connection to Jerusalem. The visit underscored the deep ties between the United States and Israel, founded not just on strategic interests but also on shared values and faith.

In times of trial, Israel turns to its ancient heart in prayer and once again, from that sacred place, a message of gratitude was lifted high.
