Today, we will look at former President Donald Trump’s record on Israel.

Trump brokered Middle East peace and put the Iranian tiger on a starvation diet with punitive sanctions. Trump has an unmatched legacy of pro-Israel accomplishment. During his tenure, Trump ...

• Ignored naysayers and predictions of a Muslim-world explosion as he recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved the U.S. embassy to Israel's eternal capital.

• Recognized Israel's sovereign claim to the Golan Heights, a strategic land mass that is essential to the Jewish state's security.

• Yanked the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal — an Obama-Biden legacy that ensured a nuclear Iran and created a mortal threat to Israel's continued existence.

• Defunded the Palestinian Authority, which gives millions to reward terrorists who attack and kill Israelis ... even Americans.

• Defunded the infamous United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) — which foments hate for Israel and aided and abetted Hamas in its war on Israel.

• Recognized that Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria — the so-called "West Bank" — do not violate international law and pose no threat to Middle East peace.

• Brokered the Abraham Accords that brought together Arab nations — Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan — in a historic and unprecedented peace and commerce pact with Israel.

As I write, Trump leads in the polls and now faces Kamala Harris. But Harris “lacks any affinity for Israel,” asserts former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.

“Biden made many mistakes regarding Israel, but he is miles ahead of Harris in terms of support for Israel,” Friedman told the Jerusalem Post. “She is on the fringe of the progressive wing of the party, which sympathizes more with the Palestinian cause.” 

Christians in Defense of Israel is asking each of the top three presidential candidates to take a pledge to bless Israel. Please, sign our petition demanding these candidates make their views known, by taking the pledge to bless Israel.
