President-elect Donald Trump will nominate former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to serve as ambassador to Israel, he announced Tuesday.

Huckabee is a staunch defender of Israel and Trump has promised to align U.S. foreign policy more closely with Israel’s interests. Huckabee’s daughter, former Trump press secretary and current Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, has scheduled an announcement for Tuesday at 2 p.m.
