Israel’s Christian Visa Crisis Exposed

Israel’s Christian Visa Crisis Exposed

After an extremely intense public exchange about Christian tourist visas to Israel, we finally have an answer. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee put out a statement about the issue, and in it he gave a lot of credit to one man, attorney Calev Myers. CBN’s Raj Nair is joined by Calev Myers to find out the breaking details.

    Somebody said to Mike Huckabee that Israel has bombed acre church in Gaza and that the pastor was hurt
    This is also not true the church was not bombed at all

    Look up & listen to the following Holy Ghost filled, One God teaching, baptize In Jesus Name Pastors in the USA…David K Bernard, Jeff Moses in LaFollette LA and Kenneth Haney at Christian Life Center in Stockton CA.

    FAKE christians … outraged at this at not at the death and starvation of thousands of… despicable

    "SOMETIMES" they create inefficiencies?

  5. @johnstover47 on July 26, 2025 at 11:38 pm

    Israel worse than Nazis

  6. @smo5328 on July 26, 2025 at 11:39 pm

    Not sure how aligning Tucker and Candace w known racist groups helps reassure Christians of Israel’s freedom of religion.

  7. @DavidJulian08 on July 26, 2025 at 11:41 pm

    I am Israeli American. The Minister of Interior is an Ultra Orthodox Jew. Judaism is a none missionary religion. Never try to convert anyone to Judaism. Therefore they don’t like Christian Missionaries or any Missionaries. But for the Ultra Orthodox it’s a very important point. Most Israelis don’t like efforts to convert them. Otherwise there is no explanation to what happened.

  8. @dgm1113 on July 26, 2025 at 11:42 pm

    I too am a Myers. Thank you Calev!

  9. @gerikc on July 26, 2025 at 11:47 pm

    Catholics destroying everything good in the world. Hm… I wonder whose side they’re really on. Seems to me they are anti Jew, anti peace, and anti Christ.

    Just ask the Reformers. Oh, but you can’t, because the Catholics burned most of them at the stake.

  10. @NewName74 on July 26, 2025 at 11:47 pm

    Were in Jerusalem is the place were Saint Stephen was stoned ? Were is his grave ? Any memorials in Israel for the stoned Christians ??

  11. @jc-1579 on July 26, 2025 at 11:49 pm

    The true Israel is not the country of Israel, the true Israel are individual people all over the world who accepted the message of salvation through Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and they are safe in this endtimes and not undergo though bombings. The arrogant Jews don’t believe in Jesus, they’re the ones who killed Jesus. Religions cannot save, faith in Jesus is the only way to heaven.

  12. @DarthDaddy-cg6ro on July 26, 2025 at 11:49 pm

    Thanks

  13. @JFL.Productions on July 26, 2025 at 11:50 pm

    It’s a bit insane, how close Christians are to Jews, when they’re conflicting religions, and how separated Christians are from Muslims, when they’re nearly identical religions, with both praying to the same God & same prophet, Jesus.

    I can only conclude

  14. @chrissmiles2456 on July 26, 2025 at 11:51 pm

    Wow, this did not help.

  15. @jerryshrader5723 on July 26, 2025 at 11:52 pm

    The Wailing Wall is a Holy site.
    The Church in Taybah i just some ruins. The Ambassador and the Priests and the Patriarchs and the Vatican all duped. Grass fire at some ruins. Not the right kind of Christians?

  16. @GamingplugTopia on July 26, 2025 at 11:53 pm

    Who are the gentiles?

    Colossians 1:27
    To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

  17. @Vesnicie on July 26, 2025 at 11:55 pm

    The Christians I met in the West Bank were a weird mix of the faithful and phonies. The ones who didn’t convince me were very keen to say that they were "Arabs first and Christians second", they hated Israel and Israelis categorically and their entire life’s work seemed to consist of convincing credulous Christians from around the world that they are the holiest of us all simply because they live in some of the holiest locations. This is a massive PR stunt to damage Israel’s reputation among Christians and it’s more than understandable why Israel is wary about it all. To my shame as a Catholic, much of the hierarchy of both the Catholic and Orthodox churches has really fallen for this line, never mind the fact that Christians are routinely mistreated in majority-Muslim countries.

  18. @houseofsofia6650 on July 26, 2025 at 11:55 pm

    Christians are safe in Israel.
    Discrimination is against Messianic Jews.

  19. @OliveWeitzel on July 26, 2025 at 11:59 pm

    When a Jew hears Christian firstly he thinks about the Holocaust & the inquisition!, and Jew-hating Martin Luther!

  20. @tbh5207 on July 27, 2025 at 12:00 am

    God Himself doesn’t stop us from making our own choice, why should any man stop us from knowing our options? Pray for God to reveal His Truth… Look up & listen to the following Holy Ghost filled, One God teaching, baptize In Jesus Name Pastors in the USA…David K Bernard, Jeff Moses in LaFollette LA and Kenneth Haney at Christian Life Center in Stockton CA.

  21. @Fyllupflitzzberger on July 27, 2025 at 12:00 am

    When will Christians realize that isrealis reguard you as idol worshipping heathens. They feel that the father son and holy ghost goes against the one God and only one principle.

  22. @Xpistos510 on July 27, 2025 at 12:05 am

    It’s time Christians boycott Israel. The location where the Antichrist will rise.

  23. @michaelhatzikostantis4081 on July 27, 2025 at 12:05 am

    Stop the bull get to the answer

  24. @THE.THRESHOLDING on July 27, 2025 at 12:05 am

    What a lot of people in america dont understand is that there are aspects of israeli government that are a beireaucratic juggernaut. Its like a giant dmv. Its not anti christian. Its anti efficiency.

  25. @tmilholin7552 on July 27, 2025 at 12:05 am

    Thanks guys for clearing this up the minute you said government bureaucrats I understood what was happening

  26. @veralevy7036 on July 27, 2025 at 12:05 am

    We love the US ambassador Mike Huckabee and Mike Huckabee should finally understand that we have a deep state in Israel who will do everything to destroy the relationship between America and Israel

  27. @Joshua-k1t on July 27, 2025 at 12:06 am

    God bless ZION

  28. @michelespinosa7396 on July 27, 2025 at 12:06 am

    CBN- a bedrock of Christian Zionist idolatry… how this channel continues to justify the hatred Zionist Israelis have towards Christians (even evangelicals) captured on video (that a simple google search would reveal) is beyond comprehension.

  29. @scooter5005 on July 27, 2025 at 12:09 am

    Huh. Looks like Israel needs to cool off, not be bothered with American Christian tourists for several years

  30. @Feelthefx on July 27, 2025 at 12:10 am

    Israel has investigated itself and has determined that it didn’t burn or bomb any churches

  31. @TheWestIsNext001 on July 27, 2025 at 12:12 am

    France becoming the next caliphate of ISLAMISTS and neonazis.

  32. @AvivHoffman on July 27, 2025 at 12:13 am

    About the church incident… We also mistakenly struck our own hostages who mind you, held a white flag, and we’re running towards our soldiers. Yotam Haim, Alon Shamriz, Samer Talalka. War is chaos, accidents happen. We aren’t doing it out of spite because of hate. Towards any creed. If we strike our own in friendly fire, what makes you think this wasn’t an incident of friendly fire also? Of course it was a mistake. To believe otherwise is a fool’s errand.

  33. @MyHomiesCallMeSmoove on July 27, 2025 at 12:15 am

    Zionist Christian in 2025: “You’re losing me”

  34. @ivanpare3836 on July 27, 2025 at 12:16 am

    If you are a Christian you believe Christ is king. I invite you to stand on a sreetcorner in Israel with signage to this effect.

  35. @rebecca120xmany on July 27, 2025 at 12:16 am

    Thank you for clarifying this issue for many of us!

  36. @GG-un7hj on July 27, 2025 at 12:20 am

    It’s pretty obvious there is a massive schism between Evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics regarding Jews, Israel and Anti-Semitism.

    What’s changed is that previously mainline Protestant leaders such as Tucker Carlson have rabidly joined with hardcore anti-semites like Hispanic Nick Fuentes & Gruypers, Black-Catholic convert Candace Owens, Black-Muslims, Communist Chinese College Students, and even Middle-Eastern Hamas Supporters, to Declare War on Israel, Christian Zionists, ALL Jews, and even President Trump now.

    Tucker Carlson is now devoting every episode irregardless of the topic back to pure Jew-hatred. Every show he does now somehow makes negative suggestions about both American-Jews & Israel. He’s the new David Duke and old line Traditional Roman Catholics are feasting on his hatred. It’s sad.

    Religious Civil War mainly Catholic vs Jews & Evangelicals, is brewing in America.

  37. @MrMrs-g2w on July 27, 2025 at 12:21 am

    Thank you guys for doing this. Someone needs to send this to Michael Knowles.

  38. @saadalbadri5210 on July 27, 2025 at 12:23 am

    It well be successful & acceptable mission if the Christian missionaries who wanted to visit Israel concentrate on atheists and unbelievers of Israel and leave Jews and Muslims to their faiths, unless if they approached by these two faiths to ask about Christianity!

  39. @mintehmolfa734 on July 27, 2025 at 12:23 am

    Stop justifying mass murders and genocide.

  40. @bryankey4099 on July 27, 2025 at 12:25 am

    The real Christians enemy is the antichrist and not the Jews. Jews and Christians pray the Same God and He is Jesus Christ alone. But the Jews dont recognise Jesus Christ is their God who brought them out from slavery in Egypt to the promise land Israel yet. During second coming of Jesus Christ, all the Jews recognise Jesus Christ is their Messiah which they are waiting for and they all become the followers of Jesus Christ because the veil in their eyes already open. Christians also can preach the gospel to the Jews with patient and dont get angry with the Jews because the Jews is the tree and the Christians are the branches of that same tree. If Christians get angry with the Jews and have no patient with the Jews, it is same like the branches get angry with his own tree.

  41. @ARenewedmind on July 27, 2025 at 12:30 am

    There is nothing MSM and their masters would love more than to see a break in the relationship between Christians and Israel. Do not get carried away by the hype and yes, over reaction. Especially by Mike Huckabee but then, he is known for over reacting!

    If you consider the terrible things the Church perpetrated against the Jews for almost 1900 years, then it is a miracle that Israel actually allows Christians and Christian missionaries into Israel. So be humble and respectful! God is working His end time plan.

    The churches who used their "favor" with the Ministry of Interior to obtain jobs for Palestinians overstepped their boundary and are in the wrong. Simple as that.
