Huckabee Sanders said that she will meet with Israeli government officials and business leaders and strengthen economic ties between Israel and Arkansas. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that she will visit Israel in the coming weeks in a post to X/Twitter on Thursday.

The Senate in April confirmed Mike Huckabee, who served more than a decade as Arkansas governor, as the Trump administration's ambassador to Israel. This is Sanders' first trip to Israel since taking office as governor in 2023, though she has previously been.

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to travel to Israel and the United Arab Emirates on a trade mission next week to "deepen Arkansas' economic ties," she said in a news release.
