“Janet and I toured a Magen David Adom Blood Bank in Ramla today, meeting heroic volunteers who showcase the very best of humanity—tireless work ethic, servants’ heart and professionalism—in their life-saving mission,” he posted on X. “We are truly grateful for their work!”
The American envoy visited the underground blood bank at Magen David Adom’s headquarters—the first facility of its kind in the world—one week after the end of the war with Iran.
“We thank you, Ambassador Huckabee, for your great love and appreciation for the State of Israel,” said MDA director general Eli Bin. “The steadfast support of our American friends has given us the means to save lives.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited the facility last week.
Meanwhile, Huckabee received a commemorative plaque made from fragments of an Iranian missile that struck Israeli farmland during the 12-day war. He said it would be displayed in his Jerusalem office.
Presented by Yesha Council chief Israel Ganz on behalf of the people of Judea and Samaria, the plaque bore the inscription: “From the ashes of hate, we forge bonds of courage. Thank you, America, for standing with us.”
