Mike Huckabee was confirmed as U.S. Ambassador to Israel despite campaigns, protests, and calls to oppose his confirmation. He has frequently supported the illegal annexation of the West Bank, and in the past, he has denied the existence of the Palestinian people, saying there was “no such thing as a Palestinian.” His confirmation as ambassador to Israel is anticipated to bring further conflict and strife to the region.
God of truth and justice, we cry out as the powerful seek to promote division and hatred rather than work toward dignity for all. You, who know each of us by name, hear the pain of Palestinians whose identity and land are once again dismissed and threatened. We grieve an appointment that signals deepening violence rather than the peace you call us to. Yet you are the God who sees the oppressed. In a world that uplifts injustice, make us steadfast in sowing truth, compassion, and solidarity across all borders.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer
