In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump shared a text message he received from Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, APA reports citing BBC.
Huckabee praises Trump in the message, and encourages him to listen to the voice of God as he weighs how to respond to the ongoing hostilities between Iran and Israel.
"God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century - maybe ever," Huckabee says, referencing Trump's survival of an assassination attempt on him in 2024.
"The decisions on your shoulder I would not want to be made by anyone else," the ambassador says.
He goes on to express his support for Israel and his position as ambassador, writing that he "Will not abandon this post."
"Our flag will NOT come down!" Huckabee says.
Trump shared this message without additional context. He met with his national security team earlier today, and reportedly spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It also comes as the US embassy in Jerusalem will reportedly be closed from Wednesday to Friday.
Huckabee, who is also an ordained pastor, has been serving as the US ambassador to Israel since April.
