Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders to take first trip to Israel since her father became ambassador
ISRAEL, JUL 31 – The mission aims to expand Arkansas' defense and agricultural technology sectors, with $150 million in exports to Israel in 2024 highlighting strong trade ties, officials said.
- Arkansas Governor Sanders plans her first Israel trip next week, departing Sunday and returning Aug. 9, since her father Mike Huckabee became U.S. ambassador there.
- Arkansas seeks deeper trade ties with Israel, which exported more than 60,000 units in 2024, as Sanders emphasizes economic collaboration.
- Her itinerary includes hosting roundtables with Israeli companies on agritech and defense and meeting firms in the United Arab Emirates focused on aerospace and defense industries.
- Sanders’ June meeting with L3Harris led to a six-figure investment in Camden, and she aims to `continue our effort to bring more foreign investment and jobs to Arkansas` in the United Arab Emirates.
- Amid tensions, Sanders’ trip occurs against the backdrop of a new law requiring `Judea and Samaria` instead of `West Bank` and ongoing criticism of Israel’s actions following `October 7, 2023`.
