CUFI confronts indifference and combats antisemitism wherever it appears.

On its 70th anniversary, Israel recognized Pastor John Hagee as one of its 70 most influential allies since statehood. That same year, Ambassador David Friedman invited him to deliver the benediction at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem’s dedication ceremony.
