Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) has asked President Donald J. Trump to recognize Israel’s right to sovereignty over the land that the U.S. government currently refers to as the “West Bank.” The Israeli government and many others use the biblical names “Judea and Samaria.”
In a letter to the president last Tuesday, Tenney said, “This region is the heart of our shared Judeo-Christian heritage, and recognition of the right of Israel to declare sovereignty over this region would build upon your previous recognition of the importance of this heritage,” stated the letter, which Reps. Andy Harris (R-Md.), Mary Miller (R-Ill.), Barry Moore (R-Ala.), Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) and Randy Weber (R-Texas).
AFSI is deeply grateful to Rep. Tenney for her continued work to speak the truth about Israel, especially with this current initiative that calls for the application of sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. With the Trump administration in place, the call for sovereignty grows stronger and stronger.
