WASHINGTON, DC — The overwhelming vote by the United Nations General Assembly this week demanding that Israel fully evacuate the West Bank within twelve months or face massive international economic sanctions and arms embargoes has infuriated Israeli officials who regard Judea and Samaria not as the “West Bank” but as their Biblical homeland.
It has also outraged pro-Israel Evangelical and conservative leaders around the world, and particularly in the United States, who also view Judea and Samaria as part of the land God had given to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the nation of Israel.
Also infuriating, they say, are the ongoing efforts by UN Sec.-Gen. António Guterres to gain for himself the authority to implement sweeping emergency powers if he declares that various international crises or “complex global shocks” necessitate fast UN action, first laid out in a 26-page position paper he issued in March 2023.
Dozens of American Evangelical Christians and conservative policy leaders that I met with yesterday expressed grave concern by what they described as an “unprecedented” and “dangerous” power grab by the UN that could have devastating consequences for all nations, but especially the U.S. and Israel.
