This article explores the role of Christian Zionism in U.S. politics, particularly during the Trump presidency, where it remains a significant, though unofficial, policy influence. Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, embodies this ideology, advocating for Israel's actions based on interpretations of biblical prophecy. Huckabee's views were prominently featured in an interview with conservative journalist Tucker Carlson, where he defended Israel's military actions in Gaza, claiming they are justified by a biblical mandate to control the region.

Christian Zionists, primarily from evangelical Christian backgrounds, passionately support Israel's existence as a fulfillment of biblical prophecies. This belief system posits that the return of Jews to the Promised Land is essential for the Second Coming of Christ, further solidifying the connection between evangelical beliefs and political actions regarding Israel. Huckabee's claims during the interview highlight a more extreme theological premise that Israel has a 'biblical right' to occupy much of the Middle East, reflecting a broader sentiment among some conservative factions within the U.S.

The implications of Huckabee's and others' outspoken support are significant, influencing both domestic and foreign policy orientations towards Israel. As factions within the U.S. political landscape hold divergent views on Israel, the unwavering support of Christian Zionists showcases a strengthened commitment to Israel's expansionist agenda, complicating efforts for peace in the region. The article not only sheds light on the extreme beliefs underpinning this support but also raises questions about the intersection of religion and politics in shaping foreign policy in the U.S.
