Last month hundreds of faith leaders across the country signed an open letter calling on President Trump to support Israel's sovereignty.
Ten points for reflection are presented in the letter; several of which are:
- Dividing Israel’s covenant land has led to instability
- Retaking Gaza has been at a great cost
- Nothing can override Judea and Samaria’s historic, legal, and biblical title
Another letter was released ahead of the President's meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Tuesday.
One of the leaders behind the letters was former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who serves as dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University. During an appearance on Washington Watch on American Family Radio, she says someone inside the administration responded to the letter.
"I won't say the name of the individual, but we were told it was a great letter, and we hope that it will make it in front of the president of the United States. That would be the goal, and in front of the decision makers regarding the U.S.-Israeli relationship,” Bachmann states.
Bachmann believes the letter was clear about God's plan for Israel and the Jewish people, to live in fully all of the land that He gave them.
"So, we as nations publicly affirm that the Jewish people have the right to live in their land, and then we bless them. We might bless them with what they need to defend themselves, whether it's munitions or whether it's weaponry. But we bless them, and we back them," Bachmann says.
Furthermore, she states that’s what the Bible calls to be done.
“And so, when nations agree with the temptation to meddle in Israel's affairs and then pressure Israel to divide their land or to remove the Jewish people from the land, the God of the Bible says that there will be swift judgment on nations that do that," concludes Bachmann.
