United States Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman performed a remix of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s classic hit Sweet Home Alabama in Jerusalem.

With the former Arkansas governor playing bass, the band played a version of the song called “Sweet Home Yerushalayim” (Hebrew for Jerusalem).

American comedian and actor Elon Gold led the group on vocals.

The song was part of an event to celebrate the Israel-Hamas peace deal.

“Torah scrolls keep on turning. Just two days and we are through,” the song started.

“Then we start from the beginning. Hashem’s holy words begin anew. We all have come to help Hatzalah. And we wanna help it thrive. Based right here in God’s holy city. Throughout this land it’s saving lives. Sweet Home Yerushalayim,” the song continued.

“Where God’s words ring so true. Sweet home Yerushalayim. Lord, I’m coming home to you. Well France and friends don’t think it’s Jewish. The United Nations call us crooks. But Donald Trump claims it’s all Israel. Just as it says in all the holy books,” it continued.

Mediaite noted:

In a Fox Business interview, Huckabee called the current peace deal an “incredible triumph” for Trump after “two years of h***.”

“Let’s give all the credit to President Trump,” he said. “This would have never happened had he not been in the White House and had he not had the ability to engineer this deal.”

Huckabee expertly pulled off the song’s funky bass line on electric bass, with Friedman accompanying the group on electric guitar.

The performance was shared on X by Eli Beer, president and founder of United Hatzalah of Israel, a volunteer emergency medical services organization, which hosted the annual event.

The performance at United Hatzalah’s annual Sukkot concert in Jerusalem was held in honor of the Jewish state’s lifesavers and the expected return of the hostages from Gaza.

It was held at the International Convention Center in the country’s capital.
