<p>Mike Huckabee, US President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for the role of ambassador to Israel, said in an interview with Army Radio that "of course" annexation of the West Bank is a possibility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a report by The Time Of Israel, Huckabee also added that he is not the one who sets policy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Using the Biblical terms used by the right-wing of West Bank in the interview, Huckabee said, "Well I have been as you know, a frequent visitor to Judea and Samaria,” The Time Of Israel reported.</p>

<p>“I also very much believe that the people of Israel deserve a secure and safe country and anything I can do that will help accommodate that is going to be a great privilege for me,” the agency quoted him as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When the anchors of the show asked if West Bank annexation is a possibility during Trump's second term in the White House, Huckabee was quoted as saying, "Well of course. I won’t make the policy, I will carry out the policy of the president, but he has already demonstrated in his first term that there’s never been an American president who has been more helpful in securing an understanding of the sovereignty of Israel, from the moving of the embassy, recognition of the Golan Heights, and Jerusalem as the capital, no one has done more than President Trump and I fully expect that will continue.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about Trump's announcement of his role, Huckabee said he is "incredibly honoured" that he was chosen for the role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Huckabee is a pro-Israeli politician who has openly supported Israeli settlement building in the West Bank, which most of the international community views as illegal.</p>

<p>In 2017, Huckabee was present in Maale Adumim for the expansion of one of Israel's largest settlements.</p>
