Amid escalating tensions between Israel and the Evangelical Christian community, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told some 400 influential Christian leaders over the weekend that they are the Jewish state’s greatest friends.
Netanyahu took part in a virtual conference orchestrated by Mike Evans, the founder of Friends of Zion. This was Netanyahu’s first video conference with the community since returning to the premiership last year.
“You are the greatest friends the Jewish state has. I will never forget it, and the vast majority of Israelis strongly agree with me,” the prime minister told listeners, to reassure them following reports that the country had stopped providing clergy and work visas to the permanent staff of some of the community’s most prominent organizations
