U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana performed a series of American songs at a Jerusalem celebration marking the United States’ 250th anniversary. The U.S. Embassy in Israel hosted the event, attended by senior public officials, politicians, foreign military representatives, IDF and Israel Police personnel, and other official bodies. Huckabee said he was on stage to have fun and encouraged attendees to stand and dance. The crowd joined in as Huckabee and Ohana continued playing, in another public performance by the pair.
