CUFI Applauds Hostage Release Agreement

WASHINGTON – On Wednesday, the leadership of Christians United for Israel (CUFI) applauded the news that a deal had been reached to see Israel’s hostages released after two years in Hamas captivity.

 

“We prayed for this day for 733 days. As the hostages come home and Hamas is disarmed, we look forward to finally witnessing the end of Hamas’ barbarity which God willing, will never rise again,” said CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee.

 

“For two years, we have wept for those who mourn, and we will always do so for those we have lost. So too do we rejoice for the twenty families welcoming their loved ones home. As we witness the scenes of elation and anguish, we are reminded that Never Again is a promise and a responsibility – one we will never abandon,” said CUFI Action Fund Chairwoman Sandra Hagee Parker.

 

With more than 10 million members, Christians United for Israel is the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States and one of the leading Christian grassroots movements in the world. CUFI spans all fifty states and reaches millions with its educational message.

 

The CUFI Action Fund, a nonprofit 501(c)(4), nonpartisan organization, is the policy arm of the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, Christians United for Israel (CUFI). The Action Fund is dedicated to ensuring our elected officials hear the perspective of the millions of Christian Zionists across the country.
