“Amazing and unprecedented — Another promise kept,” said Franklin, alluding to the Trump administration’s earlier decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. 

“After 52 years, the U.S. officially recognizes Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights, thereby creating a safer and more secure Israel. As we bless Israel, the Lord blesses our nation! Grateful for a president willing to take a bold stand on behalf of our greatest ally.”
