The U.S. and Israel: A Friendship for Freedom
(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Michael Pompeo - Secretary of State Michael Pompeo told the Christians United for Israel conference in Washington on Monday: "The American welcoming of the new Jewish state into the family of nations [in 1948] was one of the most consequential diplomatic decisions of the 20th century...as a statement to the world of who we are as Americans. It proved, as we continue to prove, that we stand for human dignity, that we stand for justice, that we stand for independence." "Modern Israel is the only truly free nation throughout the entire Middle East. It has an enormous respect for religious freedom....Here, too, Israel's commitment lights the way for the rest of the Middle East and indeed for the entire world."
