(NewsNation) — If confirmed by the Senate to be ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee said it would “be an honor” to represent the continuation of the Abraham Accords.

The Abraham Accords, which President-elect Donald Trump helped broker, aimed to normalize relations between Israel and Arab nations.

On “Morning in America,” Huckabee said the job is all about carrying out responsibilities assigned by the president.

“An ambassador doesn’t get to make policy. He’s there to represent the policy,” Huckabee said. “An ambassador serves at the pleasure of the President.”

Huckabee’s nomination comes during the Israel-Hamas war. Israel’s campaign in Gaza has killed 44,056 people, according to local health authorities, who say more than half of those killed were women and children. Parts of Gaza have been decimated and more than 2.3 million people driven from their homes. The war began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking some 250 others hostage.

The world’s top war crimes court issued arrest warrants Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity.
