A new Christian-led organization aims to shape US policy in favor of Israel, focusing on sovereignty over the West Bank and countering antisemitism

In a show of growing confidence and political influence, pro-Israel Christian leaders gathered at the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem on Tuesday to celebrate the Israel launch of the Conference of Presidents (COP) of Christian Organizations in Support of Israel.

The event, a follow-up to a similar gathering in Washington, DC, last September, comes just two months into US President Donald Trump’s administration—a time when Christian Zionist voices believe they have more power than ever to shape US policy in Israel’s favor.

The coalition aims to advance pro-Israel policies at the executive, legislative, and state levels while mobilizing grassroots efforts to strengthen US-Israel relations and combat rising antisemitism in North America, explained Mario Bramnick, president of the Latino Coalition for Israel and a co-founder of the Conference of Presidents.
