Denies Ambassador to Israel appointment

An official serving with Trump’s transition team says Huckabee will be appointed as America’s ambassador to Israel. The official also says, his first order of business will be to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Official:

That’s going to happen. Governor Huckabee is going to see it through.

However, Huckabee denies the appointment:

Media buzz that I was named Amb to Israel is NOT true. Was never discussed with PE Trump; slot probably not picked until State Dept in place
