Early Cabinet Picks Show Strong Support for Israel
As President-Elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, he has made several key appointments that could significantly reshape U.S. foreign policy—especially concerning Israel. Figures like Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio, Elise Stefanik, Mike Waltz, and Pete Hegseth, all staunchly pro-Israel, have been tapped to fill critical roles within his administration. With the U.S.-Israel relationship standing at the forefront of international diplomacy, these picks signal a continued commitment to strengthening ties with the Jewish state.
To help unpack the importance of these selections and what they mean for both American policy and Israel’s security, we have two expert voices: Robert Davi, a vocal conservative actor and supporter of Donald Trump, and David Rubin, former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and the author of Trump and the Jews. Both have a deep understanding of the issues surrounding U.S.-Israel relations and can offer unique insights into how these pro-Israel figures will influence the upcoming administration’s approach to the Middle East.
The appointments of Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio, Elise Stefanik, Mike Waltz, and Pete Hegseth are not just political maneuverings; they reflect Trump’s continued promise to make Israel a priority in his foreign policy. The U.S.-Israel alliance has long been a cornerstone of American policy in the Middle East, and Trump’s picks represent a pivot towards greater cooperation with Israel, particularly in the face of rising threats from Iran, Hezbollah, and Palestinian extremism.
The pro-Israel nature of these appointments is key to understanding the direction Trump plans to take in both domestic and international policy—whether it’s reaffirming the U.S. Embassy’s move to Jerusalem, pushing back against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, or securing Israel’s borders in the face of growing instability in the region.
Mike Huckabee’s Role as Ambassador to Israel: As a former governor, pastor, and outspoken supporter of Israel, Huckabee’s appointment is seen as a direct signal of Trump’s commitment to Israel. Davi and Rubin can speak to Huckabee’s deep connection with the Jewish state and his likely influence on U.S. policies in the region.
Marco Rubio’s Foreign Policy Influence: With Rubio’s strong pro-Israel track record, particularly in his stance against Iran, his role in Trump’s administration will be crucial for shaping U.S.-Israel diplomatic relations. Both guests can explain how Rubio’s experience will bolster Israel’s security and counter Iran’s destabilizing actions.
The Rising Influence of Elise Stefanik and Mike Waltz: As fresh faces in Congress, Stefanik and Waltz represent a younger, more dynamic generation of pro-Israel policymakers. Davi and Rubin can discuss how their perspectives will help forge a new chapter in U.S.-Israel relations and reinforce American leadership in the Middle East.
Pete Hegseth’s Role in Promoting U.S.-Israel Security: Known for his military expertise and outspoken support for Israel, Hegseth’s role could be pivotal in addressing both domestic defense policies and global security, including Israel’s defense against hostile neighbors.
The U.S.-Israel Relationship Under Trump: With the election of Donald Trump, the U.S.-Israel relationship has entered a new era, characterized by mutual respect and shared interests. What changes should we expect under his leadership, especially with these key appointments?

David Rubin, as the former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, and an expert on Israeli politics, offers a grounded and firsthand perspective on what these U.S. policy changes mean for the Jewish state. Rubin’s book, Trump and the Jews, is a critical resource that delves into Trump’s relationship with Israel and how his policies align with the Jewish people’s best interests.
