If there is one particular thing for which Herzog is well known, it’s the introduction of members of his family into many of his conversations with both local and foreign dignitaries.
Herzog lauded Huckabee’s commitment to the return of the hostages and the safety and security of Israel’s citizens.
A conservative, Envangelical pastor, Huckabee has led thousands of participants on solidarity missions to Israel over the decades.

Huckabee also noted Trump's support of Israel, such as through recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the Golan Heights.
The US Senate confirmed former Huckabee to be the country’s ambassador to Israel last week, installing a staunch pro-Israel conservative in the high-profile post.
An evangelical Christian, Huckabee has been a vocal Israel supporter and has defended Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
“Governor Huckabee brings a profound understanding of the security challenges confronting Israel and an unwavering commitment to the US-Israel alliance,” said the director of OU Advocacy Center.
Huckabee 'brings moral clarity, unwavering support for Israel, and will serve as the greatest US ambassador to Israel in history,' Friends of Zion Museum founder Mike Evans said.
