JERUSALEM, Israel – This week, members of Israel's Knesset and Christian leaders representing millions of Christians around the world met in Israel's parliament.The historic collaboration is having an impact on nations around the world.
"The significance of the relaunch (following COVID restrictions) of the Knesset Christian Caucus is that we've all come together to celebrate 75 years in Israel, Christian Allies Caucus Executive Director Josh Reinstein told CBN News. "The caucus basically runs year-round, but once a year we always come together and discuss what are the issues that are important to us and how we can better work together to promote what we call faith-based diplomacy.”
Reinstein said faith-based diplomacy is a powerful tool for defending the Jewish state.
“Faith-based diplomacy is when people who believe in the Bible get involved in the political process; when they take their biblical support and turn into real political action," he explained.
He added, "Today, faith-based diplomacy is the most important weapon that Israel has in its diplomatic arsenal. It's the reason there are embassies in Jerusalem. Again, it's the reason there's anti-BDS legislation around the world. It's the reason we have observer status in the African Union. It's because Christians are getting involved with the political process and letting their representatives know that standing with Israel is a priority.”
