The new U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, placed a letter from President Donald Trump to the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem on Friday morning in what he called the “first act” of his new job. According to cnn

The former Arkansas governor, who was confirmed to this position last week, presented the note to the media and the visiting crowd.

Written on a piece of paper, the note read, “Peace to Israel – DT.” Huckabee said Trump gave him the paper to put on the Western wall last Thursday.

“I cannot think of a better time to come and to bring this message of goodwill,” Huckabee said in remarks after he said a short prayer of his own at the wall. “And I also come with a prayer that all of the hostages will come home now and that we will bring them home and that is the prayer of the president as well.”
