JERUSALEM, ISRAEL – In 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told attendees at a Christian Media Summit organized by his office that he would like to create a new position: Ambassador to the Christian World.
With more than two billion Christians in the world – and some 600 million Evangelical Christians who are especially supportive of Israel and the Jewish people – Netanyahu said he believed much more needed to be done to educate and mobilize that support.
I was there and it was a very encouraging moment that, as I recall, received a standing ovation.
In 2021, Ron Dermer, who was then-Israeli ambassador to the U.S. and is now the minister of Strategic Affairs,said publicly he believed that “Israel does not spend enough time engaging Evangelicals” and encouraged a dramatic expansion of outreach to Christians overall.
WHAT EXACTLY WOULD SUCH AN AMBASSADOR DO?
