Paula White-Cain, an evangelical pastor who leads the White House Faith Office and serves as a longtime spiritual advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, is placed second on the list.<\/p>\n
White-Cain is the only individual to have earned the #1 ranking more than once since the list\u2019s inception seven years ago.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s list includes Christians from all walks of life, including American conservative commentator Scott Jennings, Erika Kirk, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner, Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas co-founder who converted to Christianity and worked as an Israeli intelligence agent, and Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a time when support for Israel is often tested, these Christian leaders have chosen clarity, courage, and conviction,\u201d said Josh Reinstein, president of the Israel Allies Foundation. \u201cThey lead not just in words alone, but by faithful action. Their example strengthens the bridge between our communities and advances the cause of faith-based diplomacy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Sept. 24, 2026 \/ JNS) The late American Christian broadcaster Joni Lamb heads an annual list of Israel\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-626470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
