Bachmann made her statements at the Knesset event, which was co-sponsored by the Knesset Caucus for the Encouragement of Bible Study, the Schindler Society and Israel365's Yeshiva for the Nations. This was the third such Bible study and the first one to take place on Jerusalem Day.

Bachmann was responding to statements she made in 2015 in which she urged Jews to convert to Christianity to help usher in the End of Days.

"I ask for forgiveness from the Jewish people for what it is that we have done," said Bachmann. "I apologize profoundly and ask forgiveness from the Almighty God that these statements brought pain."
