Earlier that day, Netanyahu met with Senator Jackie Rosen (D-NV).
“The United States and Israeli alliance is strong and steady. The United States stands with the people of Israel!” Huckabee wrote in X.
The visit came the night before the day of Jerusalem. Jerusalem Day celebrates the unity of East Jerusalem, including the old town with West Jerusalem. It also came just days after a Chicago man shot and killed two Israeli embassy staff in Washington, D.C. last week.
Yaron Lisinsky, 31, was an Israeli citizen who was granted “official guest” status by the US State Department. Another victim, Sarah Milgrim, 26, was also employed by the Israeli Embassy. The young couple was set to get engaged.
