US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee revealed that he spent six consecutive weeks inside a command center during the recent conflict involving Iran and Israel. Following the ceasefire, Huckabee shared his experience through a social media post, describing how he lived in a single room with his two dogs, slept on a camp bed, cooked using a microwave and hot plate, and had very limited movement. He expressed relief at returning to his residence after the ceasefire.

Huckabee, known as a staunch supporter of Israel, has previously identified himself as a Christian Zionist. Earlier this year, in a February interview, he stirred controversy by saying that, according to his interpretation of the Bible, he would not object if Israel occupied most of the Middle East. His remarks drew widespread criticism from the international community.

The ambassador’s account highlights the intensity of the recent conflict and the personal challenges faced by diplomats stationed in high-risk regions.
