President Obama’s dangerous Iran deal is the preeminent foreign policy challenge of our day. Congress is now almost half way through the 60 day review period for deciding whether or not to support this disastrous agreement that will put $150 billion in the hands of the world’s leading sponsor of terror and will birth a Middle East nuclear arms…
President Trump’s Middle East Trip
President Donald Trump recently left the Middle East after a brief visit to Saudi Arabia and Israel. While the president did not do and say everything we would have asked, we were very pleased with this visit.
He began with an important speech in Saudi Arabia. The President did not apologize for American…
Watch Pastor John Hagee, Founder of Christians United for Israel, discuss the Iran dangerous Deal. Please go to www.cufi.org/baddeal to ask Congress to vote against the disastrous Iran deal.
On Tuesday morning, the day that over 5,000 CUFI members from all 50 states were headed to Capitol Hill, the President announced that America and the other P5+1 nations reached a nuclear deal with Iran.
Let us be clear- this deal is dangerous for Israel, the United States and the entire world.
Armed with information about this historically bad…
Supporters of the President’s Iran deal argue that there are only two options: the deal or war. In reality, the inverse of their argument is true. This deal could lead to war by providing the world’s principal sponsor of terror with $150 billion in cash and paving the Islamic Republic’s path to a nuclear bomb.
In order to get an acceptable deal…
The American people have spoken and the results are in. Donald J. Trump will be our next president.
Over the last several months, CUFI leaders have been privileged to meet with members of Trump’s team to discuss the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship. CUFI leaders have also known Vice President-Elect Mike Pence for years.
Simply put, we…
On Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry gave a speech outlining his vision for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. This speech made clear why Kerry is merely talking about peace instead of achieving it. This confused man simply does not comprehend why his prior peace efforts — and all prior peace efforts — have failed.
The reason…
The media is awash in articles declaring that the U.S.-Israel relationship has hit a new low. And yes, when you have an unnamed Administration official calling the Prime Minister of Israel a “chickensh**t,” things have definitely gotten bad.
But what troubles us more than the childish name calling is the persistent policy. In recent months, we…
Yesterday, President Obama announced with great pride that he has reached an agreement with Iran on the framework for a nuclear deal. The details of this framework agreement are still unclear. In fact, Iran has already challenged the Administration’s vague characterization of these parameters. But we already know enough to know that nothing about…
We were disappointed to see initial reports that Pope Francis called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas an “angel of peace.” We were relieved to see reports that the Pope was likely misunderstood. It seems that what he said to Abbas was that he “could be” an angel of peace.
And indeed, President Abbas could be an angel of peace. In…
Yesterday, June 30th, was the deadline by which America and the other P5+1 nations were supposed to reach a deal with Iran to stop its nuclear weapons program. This was not the first such deadline. Yet once again, the deadline came and went without a deal.
Meanwhile, we continue to receive troubling reports from Geneva that the negotiations have…
We in CUFI were opposed to President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran. And we opposed it with everything we had. We recognized that Iran is an aggressive power with no interest in peace. We knew that this deal would not appease Iran but merely embolden it. And, once the deal was signed, we prayed that we would be proven wrong.
Sadly, we have not…
CUFI has always stressed that Israel’s fight is our fight and that Israel’s enemies are our enemies. Simply put, those who hate Israel also hate the U.S., and those who hate Jews also hate Christians.
Yesterday, we received yet another terrible, tragic confirmation of this fact.
On Easter Sunday, a suicide bomber detonated explosives at a public…
In June, the Tel Aviv days are hot and steamy. But things cool off nicely at night, and families and friends can go out and enjoy their city and their lives. But this past Wednesday night, two men sitting at a Tel Aviv restaurant had other plans. After ordering desert, they rose, pulled out guns, and began firing at their fellow diners. Four…
We at CUFI are shocked and heartbroken today to learn that 13 year old Hallel Yaffa Ariel was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist who broke into her bedroom in Kiryat Arba. The loss of her young b eautiful life, so full of promise and innocence, is deeply mourned by everyone in Israel and the CUFI community. We offer her family our prayers…
CUFI is a bipartisan organization. We have gone out of our way to acknowledge President Obama when he has stood by Israel. But now we must note that President Obama has crossed the line. His disrespect of the Israeli people and the leader they just reelected by a wide margin are simply unacceptable. The fact that he blasts Israel while embracing…
In the wake of President Obama receiving enough support in the Senate to uphold his disastrous Iran nuclear deal, the free world is now facing an invigorated foe. Tehran’s tyrants no doubt believe that they have won.
But we must be fearless, we must stand up and we must fight on. And that is precisely what CUFI intends to do. First of all, we…
Tonight, Jewish families all over the globe are preparing for Yom Kippur – the Day of Atonement. Yet by all accounts, our Jewish friends are less safe this Yom Kippur than last year. We live in a more perilous world than we did a month ago, a year ago, a generation ago. European Jews are being told not to wear anything that identifies them as…
