“Donald Trump did the right thing and recognized the obvious that Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel…” says Dr. Charles McVety, the president of Canada Christian College.

On July 23-24, McVety joined roughly 5,000 Christians as they converged on Washington, DC, for the annual gathering of Christians United for Israel. With over 4 million members, CUFI is the largest pro-Israel advocacy group in the world. The crowds celebrated Israel’s 70th birthday as a modern state with a "Night to Honor Israel."

McVety, who is also the chairman of Canada’s CUFI affiliate, continued: “We’re hoping that our government will do the same thing in Canada. In fact, the head of the Conservative Party, Andrew Sheer, has promised to do so if he is elected. But there is no way Justin Trudeau would ever do that because he deep down hates Israel.”

The summit also featured Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., who delivered a boisterous speech concerning the efforts America has made to stay off the sidelines and continue in her support and defense of Israel.

“The United States has no moral duty to be neutral between right and wrong; on the contrary, we have a moral duty to take sides, even when that means standing alone,” Haley stated.

Also welcomed warmly at the conference was Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer, who voiced his sincere praise for President Trump and his actions on behalf of Israel. Dermer noted that last year the U.S. was still part of a nuclear deal with Iran, a deal the ambassador called a “disaster for Israel.” He referenced the president’s recent decision to withdraw from that deal, thanking him “for ending the shameful policy of appeasing the world’s foremost sponsor of terrorism.”

Dermer also commended the president’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the resulting move of the American embassy there.

“President Trump’s decision will never be forgotten,” Dermer declared.
