US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said on Monday there was “not a chance” that the historic relationship between the United States and Israel would break apart, describing the alliance as too deeply rooted for either country to abandon.

Speaking at a special Israeli-American Council (IAC) America 250 celebration in Tel Aviv hosted by American-Israeli businesswoman and philanthropist Shari Arison, Huckabee said the partnership between Washington and Jerusalem was built on shared values, history, and strategic interests.

“When I hear people say, ‘Is it possible America and Israel will split apart and no longer enjoy this extraordinary partnership?’ I say, ‘No, you’ve got to understand, we are not that stupid. I hope we’re never going to be that stupid,’” Huckabee said.
