Events that Huckabee has attended include a visit to the Western Wall on behalf of US President Donald Trump, the presentation of his credentials to President Isaac Herzog, participation in the inaugural JNS International Policy Summit, the Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony honoring Jews who saved Jews that is held annually by B’nai B’rith, the AACI memorial ceremony for American and Canadian citizens who fell in battle as members of the IDF or who were victims of terrorism, a tribute in his honor organized by Pastor John Hagee, the president’s annual Independence Day reception for the diplomatic corps, and an Evangelical reception in his honor organized by Friends of Zion. ■ APROPOS THE reception for the diplomatic corps at the President’s Residence, the urgency of the return of the hostages from captivity in Gaza was a paramount issue, emphasized by two rows of yellow chairs, each with a large portrait of a hostage. During his visit to the Embassy of the Vatican, Herzog wrote in the condolence book: “May his prayers for peace be realized promptly in the immediate release of Israel’s hostages, who are being cruelly held in a glaring crime against humanity, ethics, and God Himself; in the eradication of hatred and extremism; and in a world of growing compassion in the spirit of the Hebrew prophets and the shared spiritual legacy of humanity.”
