Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee reacts to President-elect Trump selecting him as the U.S. ambassador to Israel on 'Fox News @ Night.'

I have not known where my son Itay is for over a year. My son is a 19-year-old U.S. citizen and together with 100 other hostages, has been a captive of the terror group Hamas for over a year now, more than 400 days to be precise. For all of our families, it has been eternity.

My wife Hagit and I, along with the many families of the hostages being held in the Hamas dungeons in Gaza, could not have imagined that we would still be in this same position come Election Day, yet here we are. Despite the negotiated release of half of the hostages who were taken into Gaza a year ago, since then the U.S. and Israel can’t get the rest of the hostages out.

The U.S. government and the Biden administration have been incredibly supportive, working tirelessly toward what they hoped would facilitate the release of our loved ones. But their efforts have been to no avail. After months of stalled talks and minimal movement toward securing their freedom, the elections have finally given us new hope.
