U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee was seen arriving at the Jerusalem District Court on Wednesday to attend the ongoing corruption trial of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Huckabee’s appearance at the high-profile proceedings adds a new diplomatic dimension to a case that has deeply polarized Israeli politics.
The trial, which has been underway since 2020, centers on a series of corruption charges against Netanyahu, including bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. The Israeli leader has repeatedly denied all allegations, insisting that the charges are politically motivated.
