1,000 Christian Leaders Gather in Israel to Honor Oct 7 Victims, Stand With Survivors"The arrival of more than 1,000 Christian leaders from 117 countries carries a powerful message: Israel does not stand alone." -George Deek, Israel's special envoy to the Christian world
The Friends of Zion Ambassador Summit, organized in cooperation with Israel's Foreign Ministry, includes approximately 200 young adults ages 18-29. Participants will meet released hostages, bereaved families, wounded soldiers and Holocaust survivors. "We want these young leaders to see Israel for themselves, hear directly from those whose lives were changed forever on October 7, and return home with a deeper understanding of Israel and a commitment to standing with the Jewish people," Friends of Zion founder Mike Evans said, according to Israel365 News. On Oct. 7, following a visit to Yad Vashem, the delegation will join approximately 2,000 participants at the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount. Released hostages will appear onstage during the anniversary gathering, which organizers say will be broadcast live on dozens of television networks. The commemoration marks three years since Hamas terrorists killed approximately 1,200 people and took 251 hostages into Gaza. On Oct. 8, participants will visit the Nova music festival massacre site near Re'im. Released hostages Romi Gonen, Noa Argamani and Elkana Bohbot will meet the delegation and receive the Friends of Zion "Here Am I" Award for their international advocacy. The delegation also plans to visit ancient Shiloh, where the Tabernacle stood and Samuel heard God's call. "The arrival of more than 1,000 Christian leaders from 117 countries carries a powerful message: Israel does not stand alone," said George Deek, Israel's special envoy to the Christian world. "They are coming to bear witness, to meet the people whose lives were shattered on October 7, and to carry their stories back to communities across the world," Deek said.
