Huckabee announces groundbreaking for permanent US Embassy in Jerusalem to be soon
“We will soon be breaking ground on our property to begin the construction of the US embassy that will be our permanent home rather than being spread out all over the country,” Huckabee said
Assessment
Mike Huckabee, as US ambassador to Israel, says the embassy's permanent building in Jerusalem is about to begin construction. Currently the embassy operates from temporary sites across the country. This promises a physical consolidation of American diplomatic presence in Jerusalem, which has been a politically charged location for the US mission since it moved there in 2018.
