Congressman Lamborn Speaks at Christians United for Israel Summit

Washington, D.C. - This morning, Congressman Doug Lamborn addressed the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Annual Summit. CUFI is the nation's largest pro-Israel organization. Thousands of pro-Israel supporters gathered at the event to participate and make their voices heard in support of the Israel and the Jewish people.

Congressman Lamborn issued the following statement:

"CUFI has been instrumental in advocating a strong U.S.-Israel relationship by bringing more friends into the pro-Israel fold than ever before.With CUFI, and thanks to President Trump, the last year and a half has brought a significant shift in the United States' policy towards Israel. With these victories behind us, it's time to move on to the next front of supporting Israel, and that means reforming UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. My bill, the UNRWA Reform and Refugee Support Act, would ensure that UNRWA returns to its original mandate and adopts the definition of a refugee that all other refugees around the world are defined by."

Pastor John Hagee, founder and Chairman of Christians United for Israel, issued this statement: "We are very grateful to Rep. Lamborn for leading on this vital issue. Rather than help the Palestinians, UNRWA harms those it claims to serve. We don't want to perpetuate the refugee problem, we want to solve it. The time for reform is now. Rep. Lamborn's legislation is exactly what is needed at this moment."
