image sourced from original article at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned of efforts in the United States and elsewhere to undermine the longstanding alliance between Christians and Jews. Speaking at a faith event in Jerusalem, Netanyahu emphasized Israel's unique role in protecting Christian communities in the Middle East and criticized false narratives portraying Israel as a threat to Christians.
Evangelical leaders echoed Netanyahu's concerns, highlighting the rise of online and media campaigns that seek to drive a wedge between Christian and Jewish communities, and warning of the dangers of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment. Recent incidents involving churches in the West Bank and Gaza have fueled controversy, but Israeli officials have denied intentional targeting and stressed their commitment to religious protections.
Faith leaders also noted the challenge of maintaining Christian support for Israel among younger generations, particularly amid shifting attitudes and campus activism. They called for renewed efforts to foster understanding and strengthen the historic bond between Christians and Israel.
