Praising President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Mike Huckabee as the new U.S. ambassador to Israel, former envoy David Friedman called it a “great” pick.

“I couldn’t be more excited about his pick. Obviously, he’s coming into a different period in the relationship than when I came in. When I came in, the relationship was challenged,” Friedman told Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders.”
