About 70 Christian leaders met on Tuesday with David Friedman, President Donald Trump’s nominee as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel. “David Friedman is the right person to represent the United States to Israel,” said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, President of Christians in Defense of Israel, and Founder and President of Covenant Journey.

Friedman is an Orthodox Jew whose father was a rabbi. Ronald Reagan spoke at his father’s synagogue. While some who oppose him argue that he has divided loyalties because of his Israel and U.S. citizenship, his dual citizenship is actually a plus. “Friedman loves Israel and he loves America. He is a citizen of both and intimately understands both nations,” said Staver.

“We have a historic opportunity to strengthen the relationship between the United States and Israel. This opportunity to forge stronger bonds between the two nations could not come at a more critical time,” said Staver.
