Evangelical leader lashes out at Bennett for ouster of Netanyahu

One of top leaders issued a bitter attack on Yamina party head Naftali Bennett.

However, others believe that Evangelical support goes beyond the prime minister.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year reign as Israel’s prime minister may come to an end within the next two weeks.

Because Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid announced that he and Bennett had enough seats to replace Netanyahu’s government with one that includes the Arab Islamic party Ra’am.

Evangelical leader Mike Evans, the founder of the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem and of the Jerusalem Prayer Team, slammed Naftali Bennett.

He criticised him for not sticking with Netanyahu and helping him form a coalition.

Letter to Bennet and Lapid

In this regard, he sent a letter to Bennett and Lapid.

Moreover, the letter has also been widely circulated on social media and pro-Israel websites since Thursday.

“Don’t ever call yourself a defender of Zion. You’re not,” Evans wrote in a letter he said he sent to Bennett and Lapid and and that was posted on social media and pro-Israel websites.

“You betrayed the very principles that a generation gave their blood for and died for,” he continued. “You want to be in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood and leftists. God have mercy on your soul. You’re a pathetic bitter little man so obsessed on murdering Netanyahu that you’re willing to damage the State of Israel for your worthless cause.”

He further said that he will “fight [Bennett] every step of the way.

Furthermore, he claimed that Bennet had lost the support of evangelicals 100 percent

Evans said we gave you four years of miracles under Donald Trump. And this is how you show your appreciation shitting on our face. How dare you!”

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Evans is planning to host an event in the Knesset. It aims to discuss the “actions required for the development and preservation of the important alliance between the State of Israel and the Evangelicals.”

Dror Balikud sponsor the event as a group of Likud lay people that describe themselves as “loyal to the people of Israel and the Land of Israel.”

“I am on a mission to bring Bibi back and I believe I am going to succeed,” Evans told The Jerusalem Post.

But several influential American evangelicals do not align with Evans’ approach.
