As Christian conservatives, we hold dear the biblical promise that God will bless those who bless Israel (Genesis 12:3). During his presidency from 2017 to 2021, Donald J. Trump exemplified this principle, forging an extraordinary partnership with Israel and its stalwart leader, Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu. Through bold actions and a heartfelt commitment to the Holy Land, Trump strengthened the bond between America and Israel, earning the gratitude of millions who see Israel as a beacon of God’s enduring covenant. Let’s celebrate the remarkable ways Trump stood by Israel and the deep friendship he built with Bibi.
Trump’s Bold Stand for Israel
President Trump’s policies were a testament to his resolve to honor Israel as America’s greatest ally in the Middle East. With courage and conviction, he took steps that previous administrations hesitated to embrace, fulfilling promises that resonated with Christian conservatives who cherish Israel’s biblical significance.
- Jerusalem, Israel’s Eternal Capital: In December 2017, Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s rightful capital and announcing the relocation of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to the Holy City. This courageous decision honored the truth of Scripture, which affirms Jerusalem’s centrality to God’s chosen people. When the embassy opened in May 2018, Bibi Netanyahu praised Trump’s boldness, calling it a “glorious day” for Israel. For Christian conservatives, this was a moment of rejoicing, as America stood unapologetically with God’s land.
- Affirming the Golan Heights: In March 2019, Trump recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, a strategic region vital to Israel’s security. This move, which broke with decades of cautious U.S. policy, was a powerful acknowledgment of Israel’s God-given right to defend its borders. Netanyahu, deeply moved, named a Golan settlement “Ramat Trump” (Trump Heights) in gratitude—a fitting tribute to a leader who stood firm for Israel.
- The Abraham Accords: A Miracle of Peace: Guided by faith and vision, Trump’s administration achieved a historic breakthrough with the Abraham Accords in 2020. These agreements normalized relations between Israel and nations like the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. For Christian conservatives, this was a God-inspired step toward peace, fulfilling prophecies of nations coming together in harmony. Bibi called it a “pivot of history,” and we thank God for Trump’s leadership in building bridges in the Middle East.
- Standing Against Iran’s Threat: Trump’s decision to withdraw from the flawed Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and impose strong sanctions reflected his commitment to Israel’s safety. Iran’s hostility toward God’s people has long been a concern for Christian conservatives, and Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy, including the elimination of terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani, aligned with Bibi’s resolute stance against Iran’s aggression. Together, they sent a clear message: America and Israel stand united against evil.
- A Vision for Peace: In 2020, Trump unveiled the “Peace to Prosperity” plan, a bold framework for Israeli-Palestinian peace that prioritized Israel’s security and biblical heritage. By supporting Israel’s rightful claims to Judea and Samaria, the plan reflected a deep respect for God’s promises to His people. While the Palestinians rejected it, Bibi embraced it as a path forward, and Christian conservatives saw it as a step toward honoring God’s Word.
The Trump-Bibi Friendship: A Bond Blessed by Faith
The partnership between Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu was more than political—it was a friendship rooted in shared values, mutual respect, and a love for Israel. As Christian conservatives, we see their bond as a reflection of godly leadership, united in purpose to protect the nation God calls His own.
- A Personal Connection: Trump’s warm use of “Bibi” and his frequent praise for Netanyahu’s leadership showed a genuine friendship. Bibi, in turn, called Trump “the best friend Israel has ever had in the White House.” Their camaraderie was a blessing, fostering trust and unity between our nations. For those of us who pray for Israel, this relationship was a gift from God.
- Shared Conviction: Both leaders, as outsiders challenging the status quo, stood firm against global pressures to compromise on Israel’s security. Their shared commitment to truth, strength, and faith resonated with Christian conservatives who value leaders unafraid to uphold biblical principles. Whether defying the United Nations or confronting Iran, Trump and Bibi stood as watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem.
- Honoring a Faithful Friend: Israel’s gratitude was evident in gestures like the Ramat Trump settlement and billboards celebrating the Trump-Netanyahu partnership. These acts honored a president who kept his promises to Israel, inspiring Christian conservatives to rally behind him as a defender of God’s people.
- A Legacy for Evangelicals: Trump’s policies, from Jerusalem to the Abraham Accords, spoke directly to the hearts of evangelical Christians, who see Israel’s flourishing as a fulfillment of prophecy. His alignment with Bibi strengthened the faith of millions who believe America’s role is to stand with Israel in these pivotal times.
A Legacy of Faith and Friendship
As Christian conservatives, we look back on Donald Trump’s presidency with gratitude for his unwavering support for Israel and his faithful friendship with Bibi Netanyahu. Together, they forged a legacy of courage, peace, and commitment to God’s chosen nation. From recognizing Jerusalem to brokering historic accords, Trump’s actions reflected a heart aligned with biblical values, blessing Israel and, in turn, America. As we pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), we give thanks for leaders like Trump and Bibi, whose partnership shines as a testament to God’s enduring promises.
