Eytan Fuld, advisor to Bezalel Smotrich, Chairman of the Religious Zionism party, shared a heartfelt message from ambassador-to-be Mike Huckabee, recalling Huckabee’s tribute to Eytan’s brother, Ari Fuld, who was murdered in Gush Etzion.

Huckabee, reflecting on his friendship with Ari, had written, “My friend Ari Fuld, an American/Israeli patriot, was murdered in cold blood today by a young Palestinian terrorist who stabbed Ari IN THE BACK. Despite being stabbed, Ari chased and shot the coward, who lived. Ari died. I was with Ari in July in Efrat. #heartbroken.”

Responding to Huckabee's words, Eytan Fuld wrote, “Two great Zionists. One of them, my brother Ari, was murdered by a coward terrorist. The other will be fulfilling Ari’s legacy of love for Israel as the U.S. ambassador to the state of Israel. @GovMikeHuckabee. We are delighted and are waiting for you here in Israel.”

Ari Fuld, a 40-year-old father of four and a member of Efrat’s emergency squad, was fatally stabbed at the entrance to a mall near the Gush Etzion junction. In his final moments, Ari heroically charged at the attacker, managing to shoot him before succumbing to his wounds at Shaare Zedek Hospital. Hillel Fuld, Ari’s brother, reflected on his legacy: “My brother lived his life as a hero and died as a hero. He was a hero until the last moment.”
