Evangelical Christian leaders who played a role in delivering votes to President Trump are now urging him to support Israel’s annexation of the West Bank, citing a biblical promise to the Jews. They believe that this move will pave the way for Israel to claim ownership of the territory, despite international views that it should be part of a future Palestinian state. These evangelical leaders have been actively lobbying the White House, Congress, and events in Israel to push their agenda.
Supporters of this initiative, including figures like Ralph Reed, Tony Perkins, and Terri Copeland Pearsons, believe that backing Israel’s claims to the West Bank aligns with biblical teachings and will lead to further fulfillment of prophesies. They have formed groups like American Christian Leaders for Israel to promote this cause, calling on President Trump to remove any obstacles to Israeli sovereignty over the entire land.
While some conservative figures in Congress have endorsed this idea, others continue to support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The evangelical community, while influential, is not homogenous in its views on the issue. Some data suggests that younger evangelicals are shifting away from strong support for Israel in favor of a more balanced approach that considers the rights and perspectives of both Israelis and Palestinians.
