OUR HISTORY

On January of 2004, the late MK Dr. Yuri Shtern (National Union, Chairman) established the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus with seven other members of Knesset from a number of different Knesset parties (in order to reflect the diversity of the Israeli electorate), with the goal of strengthening cooperation between Christian leaders and the State of Israel. At the inaugural meeting, the Caucus members pledged to assist Christian organizations with their local operations and to acquaint fellow MK’s with the pro-Israel work of Christians around the world.
