Abstract

The article examines the significant influence of Christian Zionists on American support for Israel and Middle Eastern policy. It highlights Yael Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, which has raised substantial funds for Israel, primarily from Christian donors, reflecting the growing power of the Christian Zionist movement. The article discusses how this movement has evolved over the past 50 years, becoming a major political force that shapes U.S. foreign policy, particularly under the Trump administration, where evangelical leaders have gained prominent roles. It also addresses the complex dynamics between Christian Zionists and Israeli leaders, including theological beliefs that drive their support for Israel, and the implications of their actions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
