Hundreds of evangelical Christians have arrived in Jerusalem for a pro-Israel convention timed to coincide with the anniversary of 7 October, Middle East Eye reported. The gathering brings American and international evangelical delegations to the city as the region marks one year since Hamas's attack on Israel and the subsequent military response in Gaza.
The convention reflects the significant role evangelical Christian communities play in mobilizing support for Israel, particularly in the United States. Many evangelical leaders have framed their backing as rooted in biblical and theological commitments to the Jewish state.
