Bethlehem pastor Munther Isaac has questioned evangelical Christians in the US over whether they support Trump’s push to “take over” Gaza and expel Palestinians, Al Jazeera reports.

“The Heads of Churches in Jerusalem have spoken with moral clarity against the ‘grave threat of mass displacement in Gaza’, calling it an injustice that strikes at the very heart of human dignity,” Isaac wrote in a post on X.

“Will Trump’s evangelical supporters who claim to care for Middle Eastern Christians take a similar position? Do they care about what church leaders in Jerusalem think?”

In a statement yesterday, the heads of Jerusalem churches warned against Trump’s ethnic cleansing proposal, saying Palestinians in Gaza “must not be forced into exile”.

Evangelical Christians are staunch supporters of Israel and make up a sizeable portion of Trump’s Republican political base.
