Mike Huckabee celebrates 1st Easter as ambassador at sunrise service, releases video ‘recognizing death, burial, and resurrection of Christ’

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – Never before in the history of the modern Jewish state has an American ambassador ever attended a worship service on Easter Sunday at the empty tomb in Jerusalem, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. 

But that’s exactly what Mike Huckabee – the first openly devout Evangelical Christian ever appointed to the post – did this morning.

On Friday evening, the Huckabees had a private Shabbat dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his wife, Sara.

Israel to indict 22 Hamas terrorists for Nir Oz massacre in unprecedented legal case:

The Southern District Prosecutor's Office has finalized indictments against 22 Hamas terrorists from the Nukhba Force, which participated in the massacre at Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7, 2023. 

The indictments were made possible by new materials, documents, and visual evidence provided by IDF Military Intelligence and the Shin Bet, recovered in recent months from the Gaza Strip.

The prosecutor's office also asked the attorney general to advance nine new legislative proposals intended to enable the trials of the terrorists to be handled in a more streamlined way. 

In Israel, approximately 300 Palestinian terrorists are being detained who are defined as having been involved in the massacre to some degree. Some were arrested in Israeli territory around Oct. 7, while others were apprehended by IDF soldiers later, as troops advanced during the fighting in Gaza. 

Another group of prisoners includes those who did not directly participate in the Oct. 7 massacre but held Israeli hostages captive in Gaza.

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth (owned by Ynet) reported that the special investigation unit at Lahav 433 collected testimonies from over 1,700 massacre survivors and approximately 400 security personnel, as well as from the Shin Bet and the IDF’s Military Intelligence Directorate. These testimonies form a significant part of the evidence in the cases. The investigators will handle the matter as a single, unified case rather than as separate individual cases.

The prosecutor's office and the police refer to it as "Case 7/10," and the district prosecutor's office intends to file all the hundreds of indictments against the terrorists within the framework of this single indictment. Such a filing is unprecedented in Israeli legal history, and represents a historic event.

Yemeni gov't reportedly preparing 80,000 man assault on Houthi-controlled Hodeidah port:

Yemen's government is reportedly preparing to launch a massive assault to recapture Hodeidah Port in western Yemen from the Houthis, according to a Friday report in Emirati state media.

Yemen's internationally recognized government is preparing to mass nearly 80,000 troops for what would be the largest offensive of the civil war, according to statements by Dr. Abdulaziz Sager, chairman of the Gulf Research Center based in Saudi Arabia, on Friday.

...Dr. Sager continued by saying that the US would be providing air cover and drone surveillance to the Yemeni government forces.

"I think we might be at the stage of counting down the end of the Houthis."
