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.

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.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to make a trade mission trip to Israel and the UAE to deepen economic ties and develop the state's largest export industries.
