SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sunday, Hagee Ministries held its 43^rd annual Night to Honor Israel at Cornerstone Church in San Antonio under the shadow of the ongoing war in the Middle East. Several thousand people were on hand for the event.

The event featured remarks from founder of Hagee Ministries and Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Chairman Pastor John Hagee and Gilad Erdan, the Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations. Both Pastor Hagee and Ambassador Erdan focused their remarks on the 10/7 massacre, and the ensuing response from Israel.

Both the Pastor and the Ambassador discussed the plight of the more than 200 innocents abducted by Hamas.

"We will not rest until we bring our children home. And we will bring them home," Erdan said.

Referring to Hamas, Hagee noted, "We must continue to provide Israel with the specific capabilities and intelligence support they need to target and destroy these savages once and for all."

Hagee then went on to discuss Tehran's role in the conflict, referring to Iran as "the head of the snake in the Middle East," and mincing no words about the Islamic Republic's culpability for the current tragedies.

During his remarks, Erdan also thanked the millions of Christian supporters of Israel across the United States for standing with Israel during her darkest hour since the Holocaust.

"You and your friends are defenders of Zion. You are Lions of Judah. You, and all supporters of CUFI, strengthen the resolve of every Israeli," he said.

Towards the conclusion of the event, Hagee Ministries donated $2.5 million dollars to Jewish and Israeli charities. Recipients of Hagee Ministries donations included, Afikim Family Enrichment Association, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Bikur V'Ezras Cholim, Coordinating Council for the Jewish Homeland, Just One Life, the Koby Mandell Foundation, Nefesh B'Nefesh, Netiv HaAsara Kibbutz, Save a Child's Heart, The Jerusalem Great Synagogue and the Women's International Zionist Organization.
