# 1 Secretary of State: Marco Rubio

#4 Ambassador to Israel: Mike Huckabee

He is vocal about his evangelical Christian faith, which he ties to his policies towards Israel.
He has cited the Bible on several occasions to argue that the Israeli-occupied West Bank is part of Israeli territory.

MAGA Loyalist
Lacks senior military or national security experience
Headed Concerned Veterans for America (right wing group), backed by (surprise!) the Koch brothers
