Dear ,

White House Peace Proposal

On Tuesday, CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee and CUFI Action
Fund Chairwoman Sandra Parker were on hand as President Trump laid out
his proposal for peace in the Middle East. As Pastor Hagee noted in his
subsequent statement, "This... is the best peace proposal any American
administration has ever put forth. The President's vision ensures
Israel's defensible borders, a united Jerusalem, sovereignty over
biblical holy sites, and provides an opportunity for the Palestinians to
choose peace."

Both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the head of
Israel's other largest political party, MK Benny Gantz, have accepted
the proposal. True to form, and for the sixth time in history, the
Palestinians rejected it.

The core benchmarks Palestinians must meet for the process to move
forward are rather minimal. They must abandon terrorism, demilitarize
now and in the future, and recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Sadly,
this is too much for the Palestinian leadership to even consider.

Unlike in the past, Israel will not be deterred or punished by
Palestinian rejectionism. The Israelis plan to begin implementing key
elements of the peace proposal without delay. This will include
annexation of the Jordan River Valley, a move that will ensure the
Jewish state has defensible borders in perpetuity.

Gulf Nations Response

Another bright spot was the Arab reaction to the peace proposal. The
ambassadors of three Gulf Arab nations joined us in the White House as
the President made his announcement. In addition, the governments of
Saudi Arabia and Egypt issued promising public statements in response to
the President's plan.

As Israel moves forward, there is little doubt the Palestinian
leadership will incite violence, and the Jewish state's detractors
here in the U.S. will go into overdrive. Rest assured, the CUFI Action
Fund is prepared for this eventuality and will ensure the pro-Israel
position is heard in the corridors of power here in our nation's
capital. We will work to strengthen the US-Israel relationship, defend
Israel against demonization, and combat those who spread lies about the
Jewish state.

Never Again Education Act

In spite of the enormously significant announcement from the White
House, this week's Action Update would not be complete without
mentioning a little covered but highly important development in the
House of Representatives. On Monday evening, the House passed the Never
Again Education Act - a CUFI Action Fund legislative priority.

No Votes

With just five Members of Congress voting against the bill, this
legislation enjoys immense bipartisan support. The five who voted
against the Act were Representatives Massie (R-KY), Amash (I-MI),
Arrington (R-TX), Norman (R-SC), Rice (R-SC).

The CUFI Action Fund looks forward to the Senate moving the Never Again
Education Act forward in the coming weeks and months, and we are in
communication with key Senators to see that come to fruition.

Thank you for your support of Israel and the CUFI Action Fund. Keep
looking out for our weekly Action Update as we bring you our
inside-the-beltway perspective on the issues that matter most to the
Christian Zionist movement.

Sincerely,

CUFI Action Fund Team
