COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — As President Trump continues his first international trip, beginning in Saudi Arabia and Israel, Dr. James Dobson issues the following statement:
“By speaking truthfully about Iran, by naming terror what it is and by calling upon Islamic nations to do more than they have in the fight against extremism, President Trump has taken a bold and refreshing stance, one that lays the groundwork for something altogether new in the Middle East— a coalition of nations finally ready to take a stand for peace.
“Likewise, in Israel, he has made an equally seminal statement. By visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and then becoming the first American President to visit the Western Wall—the holiest place in Judaism and a place rightly belonging to the State of Israel—he marks a new chapter in the modern Middle East, one that places faith at the center of any future peace.
“By his actions in the Middle East, President Trump has made it clear he has no intention of giving a single inch to any of those who would oppose Israel’s absolute right to sovereignty.”
