The faith leaders came for the Israel launch of the Conference of Christian Presidents, a new umbrella group representing tens of millions of pro-Israel Americans.
(March 4, 2025 / JNS) A group of Conservative American evangelical leaders visiting Jerusalem on Tuesday voiced support for Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria—the biblical heartland of the Jewish people—in addition to the end of Hamas rule and presence in the Gaza Strip.
The remarks come as U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to make a decision on U.S. policy regarding the annexation of Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank), and after a prominent American Conservative group and major Christian group of broadcasters gave their backing to such a move.
Judea and Samaria are the counties in which many of the most famous Biblical stories take place, and are spiritually important to both the Jewish and Christian faiths.
