Hundreds of Christian supporters of Israel were to gather Sunday evening in Washington with a group of international lawmakers seeking to further Israel-US ties based on shared Judeo-Christian values, amid growing concerns of a nuclear armed Iran.

The conference, which is being hosted by the Israel Allies Caucus Foundation, the international arm of the Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus, on the same day as the opening of the separate AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) conference in the US capital, will be attended by Chairmen of the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus Mike Pence (R-Indiana), Congressman Eliot Engel (D-New York), House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Virginia), as well as the newly appointed Chairman of the Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus MK David Rotem and former minister Benny Elon, who has been named president of the international organization.
