The Action Update: Agreements and Accords
Last night, President Trump delivered the first address of his second term in office to a joint session of Congress. This is akin to the State of the Union, but as the President’s term has only just begun, it’s simply billed a little differently. The President’s comments touched on a very wide range of topics, and as a single-issue organization, we were only focused on one: Standing with the Children of Israel.

The Action Update: A Blessed Memory and a Woman of Valor
Last week was among the most gut-wrenching for all Israel, her supporters, and anyone of conscience. No doubt our readers are aware of the horrific and brutal murder of baby Kfir, Ariel and Shiri Bibas. There is no depth to Hamas’s depravity.

The Action Update: Rinse, Wash, Repeat? Nope.
This past weekend, the world – at least those of us who have still retained some measure of humanity – were shocked to see the state of the Israeli hostages released on Saturday by Hamas. President Trump likened them to Holocaust survivors. And what other comparison could there be? The hostages were gaunt, tortured and broken for no other reason than their being inheritors of God’s Covenant with the Children of Israel.

CUFI Leaders Applaud White House for Order Combating Antisemitism
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CUFI Leaders Applaud White House for Order Combating Antisemitism
SAN ANTONIO – On Wednesday, the leadership of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the nation’s largest pro-Israel organization, applauded President Trump for issuing an executive order reaffirming his adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and instructing all departments and agencies to use the IHRA definition when enforcing civil rights law.
Today’s order additionally and importantly requires all departments and agencies to report within 60 days all civil and criminal authorities they can use to combat antisemitism.
CUFI testified before the House Judiciary Committee on this issue nearly a decade ago and has sought to advance the adoption of the IHRA definition at both the federal and state level.
“One cannot defeat that which they are unwilling to define. Through this executive order, President Trump has doubled down on his landmark 2019 policy adopting the IHRA definition and reiterated his administration will continue their zero tolerance for Jew hatred. Now more than ever, I along with CUFI’s 10 million members are very grateful to the President for his unequivocal stance on this vital issue,” said CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee.
“Antisemitism isn’t just a Jewish problem. It’s everyone’s problem. Despite the arguments of some, which are as loud as they are inaccurate, this definition neither outlaws antisemitism nor is it anti-Christian—it merely provides those tasked with confronting antisemitism with a clear definition of the world’s oldest and most prevalent hatred. If you have a problem with the IHRA definition, then you are the problem,” said CUFI Action Fund Chairwoman Sandra 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.
