On 10/7 Anniversary, CUFI Announces Northern Relief Initiative

SAN ANTONIO – On Monday, Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, announced its most recent relief initiative aimed at providing critical support for communities in Israel’s northern region which have been ravaged by increasing Hezbollah attacks.

Since October 8, Hezbollah rockets have forced at least 60,000 Israelis to flee from their homes along the northern border. The Iran-backed terrorist group’s actions, as well as the unprecedented attacks on Israel from Iran itself, have forced Israel to address the threat from Tehran and its proxies head-on.

“At this moment of great peril for the state of Israel, we remain steadfast in our commitment to ensure the defenders, first responders, and citizens of Israel have whatever they need to survive and defeat the terrorists on their doorstep,” said CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee.

As with CUFI’s previous relief effort which raised $10 million in support of Israeli humanitarian and defensive efforts in the wake of the 10/7 Massacre, 100 percent of the funds donated to CUFI’s Israel Northern Relief Initiative will be sent directly to Israelis affected by Hezbollah’s and Iran’s attacks.

“Across the country this week, in churches big and small, at college campuses and community centers, Christian Zionists will be commemorating the horrific events that took place one year ago today and will ensure in both word and deed that Israel is never alone,” Hagee added.

In addition to raising millions of dollars to aid Israeli first responders, warriors, terror victims, and internally displaced citizens since the horrific Hamas Massacre, CUFI has:

  • Organized an Emergency Fly-In, successfully lobbying in support of Congress advancing $14 billion in vital and timely aid to Israel.
  • Hosted the 2024 CUFI Washington Summit in support of Israel, attended by thousands.
  • Participated in the largest pro-Israel gathering in the history of the United States in Washington, DC, with nearly 300,000 in attendance.
  • Held hundreds of events in the past year at churches across the country in solidarity with Israel.

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.
