The Biden administration has been pressuring Israel on a two-state solution with Palestinian statehood, which would allow Hamas and the Palestinian Authority to govern over not only Gaza but Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem and would only serve to reward the genocide of October 7.
Let me be clear: The Biden administration’s push for a two-state solution not only jeopardizes Israel’s security but also that of the United States and the entire free world
A delegation of leading American faith leaders visited Israel last week in solidarity with the nation of Israel and its leaders against White House calls for a Palestinian statehood. I led this solidarity mission and was honored to be joined by Rev. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council; Sara Carter, Fox News contributor; and Ellie Cohanim, former deputy special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism during the Trump administration.
The delegates expressed solidarity with the prime minister for Israel’s military efforts in dismantling Hamas and in its protection of Israel’s sovereignty in light of U.S. pressure towards a unilateral two-state solution that appears to prioritize the safety of Hamas instead of the Israeli people.
Evangelical support for Israel in America and worldwide is essential during the current crises and more important today than at any other time in the history of modern Israel.
The delegation met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other high-ranking government officials. The faith leaders also received a security briefing and toured key strategic areas, including the Gaza envelope, Israel’s north and Judea and Samaria.
The delegation expressed to the prime minister that Israel, a sovereign nation and the only true democracy in the Middle East, should and must be allowed to make its own decisions regarding statehood without external pressures.
Just as in any other democracy, the prime minister is representing the will of the people as evidenced by the Knesset resolution opposing any imposition of a unilateral two-state solution. The Knesset by a 99-11 vote backed the Israeli government’s decision to reject any unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood.
