Huckabee Reportedly Penned Letter Lambasting Israel Over Treatment Of Christian Orgs

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee reportedly penned a letter threatening to declare Israel “no longer welcoming” to Christian organizations, according to a leaked copy of the alleged letter published in Israeli media on Friday.

The letter, dated July 16, was reportedly sent to Israeli Interior Minister Moshe Arbel and host of other senior Israeli officials, lambasting the Israeli government for allegedly not granting visas for various Christian organizations, according to The Times of Israel. Huckabee allegedly wrote the organizations in question were forced to engage in “extensive questionnaires” on their religious beliefs, which was a departure from previous understandings with the organizations and the Israeli government.

“It would be very unfortunate that our Embassy would have to publicly announce throughout the United States that the State of Israel is no longer welcoming Christian organizations and their representatives and is instead engaging in harassment and negative treatment toward organizations with long-standing relationships and positive involvement toward Zionism and friendship to the Jewish people and the State of Israel,” Huckabee allegedly wrote in the letter.

“If the government of Israel continues to cause the expense and bureaucratic harassment for the granting of routine visas that for decades have been routine, I will have no other choice than to instruct our consular section to review options for reciprocal treatment of Israeli citizens seeking visas to the United States,”Huckabee allegedly continued.
