Jerusalem: US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has asserted that divine intervention played a role in safeguarding President Donald Trump from an assassination attempt, allowing him to potentially be "the most consequential President in a century-maybe ever."
According to Anadolu Agency, Huckabee conveyed this message to Trump, highlighting the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting incident where Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally. Huckabee's message, which Trump shared on Truth Social, emphasized the gravity of Trump's presidency by drawing parallels with former President Harry Truman, who made pivotal decisions during World War II.
Huckabee's mention of Truman in 1945 comes against a backdrop of rising tensions between Israel and Iran, with reports suggesting that Israel is pushing for US involvement. This historical reference has sparked discussions about the current US administration's stance on the conflict, as Trump has expressed a desire for a definitive resolution.
In his communication, Huckabee expressed confidence in Trump's leadership, stating that he does not feel the need to frequently seek Trump's presence due to his trust in the president's instincts. Instead, Huckabee's purpose is to offer encouragement and support.
Furthermore, Huckabee reaffirmed his dedication to his role in Israel, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong US presence. He underscored his commitment by stating that he intends to be the last to leave, ensuring the US flag continues to fly over the embassy.
