“For Peace in Israel”: The Note Sent by the U.S. President to Be Placed Between the Stones of the Western Wall

The newly appointed U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, began his diplomatic mission with a moving visit and prayer at the Kosel this morning.

The incoming U.S. ambassador to Israel, arrived this morning (Friday) immediately upon landing in the country to visit and pray at the Western Wall—fulfilling previous statements in which he pledged to begin his diplomatic term with a personal and symbolic visit to the sacred site of the Jewish people.

The highlight of the visit was the placement of a special note sent by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, who entrusted Huckabee with the note before his departure for Israel and requested that it be placed on his behalf. On the note, Trump wrote briefly and movingly: “For peace in Israel – Donald Trump,” an extraordinary and deeply meaningful gesture that reflects the strong friendship between the two nations.

During his visit, the ambassador prayed together with Kotel Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, reciting Tehilim 121, and then offered a personal Tefila for the success of his mission and tenure, and for the continuation of unity and peace between the nations.

U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee: “It is an honor for me to be here on behalf of President Donald Trump and to bring the prayer he personally wrote last Thursday at the White House, with the instruction that my first act as ambassador be to take his prayer—in which he expresses his hope for peace in Israel—and place it in the Western Wall and pray for peace in the land.”
