The new president of the USA, Trump, has appointed the ambassador to Israel.

Donald Trump, who was elected as the 47th President of the United States, has begun to gradually determine the names of his cabinet and close team members while continuing his preparations for a second presidential term. So far, three names have been officially announced for the cabinet, which will include 25 names, excluding Vice President JD Vance, while there have been reports that two other individuals will be appointed to relevant positions.

TRUMP'S ISRAEL AMBASSADOR HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED

Donald Trump has decided to appoint former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel. Huckabee is known as a great friend and supporter of Israel. He has been organizing paid tour groups to Israel for years.

DETERMINING HIS CLOSE WORKING TEAM

Trump, who won the presidential elections on November 5, has announced that he will appoint Susie Wiles as the White House Chief of Staff, Congress member Elise Stefanik as the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), and former Congress member Lee Zeldin to head the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In addition to these names, it is expected that two individuals, who have received significant media attention in the U.S. but have not had official announcements regarding their roles, will also be part of the cabinet. Senator Marco Rubio is expected to be nominated for Secretary of State, while Kristi Noem is anticipated to be nominated for Secretary of Homeland Security.

NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR MIKE WALTZ

On the other hand, it has been stated that Trump will appoint former soldier and security advisor Mike Waltz for the National Security Advisory position, which plays a key role in determining U.S. foreign policy, even though he will not be a cabinet member. Additionally, Thomas Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who will be given full authority over border security, is expected to be responsible for border security and deportation processes.

ROLES IN THE CABINET AND APPROVAL PROCESS

In the cabinet that the president works with in the governance of the country, there are 15 individuals who hold the main roles, excluding the vice president. These individuals begin their duties after being nominated by the president and receiving Senate approval. These positions include the Departments of State, Treasury, Defense, Justice, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, Education, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security. In addition to these main ministries, there are 10 more positions with secondary roles at the cabinet level, but this number can vary depending on the president's initiative.

NEED FOR SENATE APPROVAL

In this context, the directors of the White House Chief of Staff, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Environmental Protection Agency, the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN, the Council of Economic Advisers, the Small Business Administration, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy are being determined. Except for the Chief of Staff position, the nominees for other positions must receive approval from the U.S. Senate. After winning the elections in 2016, Trump took office on January 20, 2017, and at that time, many cabinet member nominees had to wait for months for the approval process due to the Democratic majority in the Senate.

With the support of the Republicans, who gained a majority in the Senate with 53 seats in the elections on November 5, it is expected that Trump's new cabinet will receive approval and start their duties more quickly.
