International Christian Leaders Gather in Shiloh to Express Solidarity With Israel

More than 1,200 Christian pastors and leaders from 123 nations convened at the biblical site of Shiloh on October 9 to demonstrate support for Israel. The event, organized by Friends of Zion founder Dr. Mike Evans in partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, served as part of a weeklong Ambassador Summit marking the third anniversary of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.

During the gathering, Yisrael Ganz, chairman of the Binyamin Regional Council, encouraged the delegation to advocate for Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria within their home countries and in Washington. Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Ministry official Yacov Livne addressed the group regarding the challenges of international misinformation, which he characterized as an eighth front in Israel's ongoing conflicts.

This event followed a larger solidarity gathering in Jerusalem on October 7, which reportedly drew over 2,000 participants. Organizers described these meetings as part of a broader movement intended to combat rising global antisemitism and provide diplomatic support for the Jewish state.
