Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu and Knesset Speaker Ohana,

On behalf of Keep God’s Land, a coalition of more than 1,000 Jewish and Christian faith leaders, we wholeheartedly support the new Knesset resolution opposing Palestinian statehood from the Land of Israel Caucus.

A majority of Knesset members, from nine different parties representing the coalition and opposition, declared in the proposed resolution that the “State of Israel strongly opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan, which would pose an existential threat to Israel.”

In poll after poll, the majority of Israeli people oppose a Palestinian state, yet the Biden administration continues to push recklessly towards such a failed framework. Just yesterday, in a call with Jordan’s foreign minister, Secretary Blinken “emphasized the US continuing commitment to the establishment of a Palestinian state.” 

With his numbers dwindling, we are deeply concerned that President Biden might unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state before leaving office. We worry that the current administration will use your upcoming trip to Washington and pressure you to accommodate their reckless overtures towards Israel’s enemies and urge you to vote on this resolution before your speech to Congress on July 24th.

At this critical time, the faith community of Jews and Christians from around the world stand united against the dangerous two state solution and applaud Land of Israel Caucus leaders Simcha Rothman, Yuli Edelstein, and Limor Son Har-Melech for this powerful resolution. We take seriously the Biblical mandate, “For Zion’s sake I will not be silent” and urge you to listen to the overwhelming voice of the Israeli people and the Knesset who are all saying that we must “Keep God’s Land.”

Respectfully,
