Evangelical Christian leaders are actively pushing President Trump to endorse Israel's claim to the West Bank, invoking biblical promises to justify their stance. This movement, known as Christian Zionism, believes the land belongs to the Jews as decreed in the Bible. High-profile evangelicals are engaging in various strategies, including international trips, petitions, and conferences, to galvanize support for their cause. They argue that Trump's support could facilitate a significant political shift regarding Israel's sovereignty over territories historically seen as Palestinian land, amplifying the current Israeli government’s pro-settlement policies.
I literally feel God is giving Israel a blank check, said Mr. Bramnick, the president of the Latino Coalition for Israel and the pastor of a Florida church whose profile ballooned after he hosted prayer calls in support of claims the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Mr. Trump.
Evangelical Christian leaders who delivered votes to President Trump are now pressing him to declare that Israel can claim ownership of the West Bank.
Prominent evangelical supporters of Mr. Trump are mounting a multipronged approach to pressure the president making appearances in Israel, petitioning the White House, and pushing their ideas at a key evangelical conference.
These evangelical leaders are part of a movement called Christian Zionism and believe that the land was given to the Jews in the Bible.
