White began by noting that “The Christian vision of the end of days foretells of some profound transformation and redemption,” asking the premier whether he saw signs of this vision being realized in current events.

“That vision of the return of the dispersed people to the Holy Land, the reconstitution of Jewish sovereignty in our ancient land … That’s a miracle. I think this is a string of miracles by itself. You can explain it in various ways, but I think there is something that defies, you know, it sort of defies the laws of history because according to the laws of history, if you’re gone, you’re gone,” Netanyahu said. …

“And I know that we have, in this effort, the support of our Christian friends around the world. You know, we’ve not had greater friends,” Netanyahu emphasized.

At another point in the interview, the premier reiterated: “There is no greater partnership than the State of Israel and the believing Christians around the world.” …

“One thing I heard of recently, and this is spreading to the Christian friends of Israel and America, is (the accusation) that Israel is persecuting Christians in Israel. My God how can people believe these lies? The only place in the Middle East where the Christians are fully safe not [just] to engage in their faith, but well beyond that, to flourish, to thrive, is in Israel,” he stressed.

Despite false news and reports of declining support for Israel among Christians, Netanyahu offered a vision of hope not just for the relations between the U.S. and Israel but for Christianity and traditional values in America. …

“People here say the next generation of Christians are waning in their support for Israel… Who says that’s got to continue? I think there’s a change happening right now,” the prime minister said.

“People seek spiritual content for their lives, and many are coming back to religion, and when they do, and when they look for the sources, the wellsprings of our civilization, our societies, they’ll come back to the roots.”

“And the roots came from that land that you visit, that piece of land at the edge of Asia, the edge of the Mediterranean is where it all started.” …

How are you praying about the partnership between Christians and Israel?
