CIBAC Rep. Bro Eddie Villanueva with country’s large Christian groups yesterday expressed unequivocal support and solidarity with Israel amidst the on-going Israel-Hamas conflict in the middle east.

The office of CIBAC Rep. Villanueva together with leaders of Christian organizations Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM), Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (PMCC), Ministerial Association of the Philippines (MAP), Capitol City Four Square Church and Jesus Is Lord Church Worldwide (JIlCW) yesterday met with the office of Israeli ambassador to the Philippines Ilan Fluss to convey their solidarity and commitment to support the cause of Israel.

“We express our solidarity with Israel because we don’t want our constituents and our countrymen to be deceived by prevailing anti-Israel disinformation and propaganda which says that the war is between the peace-loving people of Israelite and Palestine,” says the CIBAC solon.

“The war is against the terrorist organization Hamas which is the perpretator of inhumane acts and the real cause of conflict in Israel and Palestine. We recognize Israel’s right to self-defense against Hamas and we call on everyone not to buy in to any move that will lead to the legitimization of its acts or strengthening of its ranks,” adds the CIBAC solon. “Israel is a state with which the Philippines has a strong bilateral relation anchored on deep historical and diplomatic ties. Israel provide us jobs, defense aid, economic gains, humanitarian aid, investments, visa-free entry, and many more,” ends the CIBAC solon.
