Shiloh, Israel — In a powerful and symbolic display of unity and faith, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson led a high-level American delegation to Ancient Shiloh, the historic first capital of Israel and a deeply significant biblical site.

The visit, organized in partnership with the U.S.-Israel Education Association and the Yesha Council, marks the highest-ranking U.S. delegation ever to visit Shiloh. The delegation included notable leaders such as former Arkansas Governor and U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, current Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and several members of the U.S. Congress.

The group was warmly welcomed by Yisrael Ganz, Governor of the Binyamin Regional Council, who underscored the shared Judeo-Christian heritage and deep spiritual ties between the United States and Israel.

“This visit is not only a diplomatic statement — it is a reaffirmation of the shared moral and biblical foundations upon which our nations are built,” said Governor Ganz.

The visit comes at a time of increasing geopolitical tension in the region, and it serves as a strong message of American support for Israel — not just strategically, but spiritually. As Israel continues to defend itself from persistent threats, this historic show of solidarity reaffirms a bond rooted in thousands of years of shared values, history, and belief.
