An estimated 1,000 pastors and Christian influencers spent a week in Israel on an all-expenses-paid trip financed by the Foreign Ministry. Their itinerary included a communal prayer with the Western Wall rabbi and a warning delivered to the U.S. administration to lay off the settlements
[…] pressuring Israel to relinquish its claim on “Judea and Samaria” – as the Israeli government refers to the West Bank – would be viewed as a breach of faith with its evangelical base. And what better way to convey this message than through a solidarity mission of evangelical clergy on the ground in the biblical heartland?
Evans get straight to the point, addressing his remarks to both Trump and Vice President JD Vance, but especially the latter, who on a trip to Israel in October upset many evangelicals (not to mention Israeli settlers) when he declared that the administration was opposed to Israeli annexation of the West Bank.
Waving a Bible in the air, Evans reminds Vance who put him into office: “This is more important than you. This is more important than me. This is the word of God, and it’s the reason the president is the president because we mobilized behind him, and we love him.”
