Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee Threatens To Expose State of Israel For ‘No Longer Welcoming Christian Organizations’
In a letter dated Wednesday, July 16, that has since been leaked to Israeli media, U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee threatened to publicly expose “harassment and negative treatment” against Christian ministries and missionaries by the Israeli Visa department.
Addressed directly to Israeli Interior Minister Moshe Arbel and indirectly to a number of Israeli officials, Ambassador Huckabee decried instances of discrimination by the Israeli Visa department since the beginning of 2025, which has placed numerous Christian organizations “under investigation”, creating procedural delays in the issuance of visas. The groups Huckabee cited include the Baptist Convention of Israel, the Christian Missionary Alliance, and the Assemblies of God.
Explaining that “We feel we are being treated as adversaries,” Huckabee threatened to “publicly announce throughout the United States that the State of Israel is no longer welcoming Christian organizations and their representatives and is instead engaging in harassment and negative treatment toward organizations with long-standing relationships and positive involvement toward Zionism and friendship to the Jewish people and the state of Israel.”
He went on to say that further U.S. actions could include informing Christians that their “generous contributions” to Zionist groups were “being met with hostility”, issuing travel advisories against travel to Israel, and conducting reciprocal treatment against Israelis seeking U.S. visas.
In a July 17 response, Interior Minister Moshe Arbel denied Huckabee’s claims, stating, “Every request that was personally brought to the attention of my office has been addressed within an exceptionally short time frame.” Moshe went on to criticize Huckabee for his decision to send the letter to a wide range of senior officials without first directly contacting him or the Interior Ministry directly.
Even though Israeli non-profits receive millions of dollars annually from Christian Zionist groups, Israel actively discriminates against evangelical Christians and messianic Jews. Christians who enter the country on tourist visas and engage in proselytization can be procedurally removed from the country.
It is currently much easier for an LGBTQ activist to enter Israel than for an evangelical missionary to enter the country, as Bruce Jenner demonstrated when he received red carpet treatment from Israeli officials during his Pride Month Israeli tour.

Bravo! The right man for the job.
Israel is at fault for all of Epstein’s activities and its Netanyahu who convinced Trump to cover it all up and claim there never was a client list. Israel is wicked to the core and an enemy not an ally. Now they are starting a war with Syria by siding with the Druze who are some qeird combo of Hinduism and Islam that believe Druze always reincarnate as Druze and only Druze are saved. I guess the Jews see a mirror image reflexion of their own belief in salvation by their ethnicity in the Druze. But Israel must always be at war with its neighbor because Satan founded it in 1948 to get America into constant wars on its behalf.
