Leading Evangelicals Push for Trump Recognition of Israeli Sovereignty in Biblical Heartland

Leading evangelicals in the US are pushing for President Trump to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the region of Judea and Samaria, also known as the 'biblical heartland' of Israel, as a matter of religious significance. The move is part of an effort to promote Jewish control over the territory, which has been a point of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Proponents argue that recognizing sovereignty would be a fulfillment of biblical prophecy and a validation of Israel's claim to the land. The push comes as tensions between Israel and its critics continue to escalate.
