Dr. Mike Evans, the founder of the Friends of Zion Heritage Center said, “All these Presidents will move their Embassies to Jerusalem and all the Muslim leaders will make peace with Israel in time.”
The virtual event (in a first) was held at the Friends of Zion Heritage Center in Jerusalem and was broadcast to millions of viewers all around the world. Key speakers at the summit included U.S. Ambassador David Friedman, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, and President of Israel Reuven Rivlin.
Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Israel has no better friends than our Christian friends around the world… I think this (Abraham Accords) is a remarkable hinge of history; this marks for the first time the full acceptance of Israel’s legitimacy here.”
Evans added that he had met with over 70 world leaders and found that “the brightest, most articulate and most forward thinking leader is Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman.”
U.S. Ambassador David Friedman stated “There is a universal benefit for people to make peace with each other, it is perhaps the highest form of human relations, to live together in peace.”
The Friends of Zion Award was commissioned by Israel’s 9th President, the late Shimon Peres, who also served as the International Chairman of the FOZ Heritage Center. This award has been given to world leaders who have stood by and supported the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Its previous recipients include: President of the United States Donal Trump, Former U.S. President George W. Bush, Prince Albert II of Monaco, President Salome Zourabishvili of Georgia, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and many others.
