Christians United for Israel congratulated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on securing his fourth term in office, expressing hope that the Israeli leader and US President Barack Obama would have better relations during this term.
"The US- Israel relationship is central to the national security interests of both nations," CUFI spokesman Ari Morgenstern told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, we do not believe President Obama has been a good steward of this alliance and in general has created a situation in which our enemies do not fear us and our friends do not trust us."
Christians United for Israel has taken copious steps to support Israel's security and its interests in the US government. Most recently they supported Netanyahus speech before Congress and have also called on their more than two million members to support the Corker-Menendez legislation that would help block Obamas current deal with Iran regarding nuclear weapons.
"As Prime Minister Netanyahu begins his next term and President Obama concludes his final term, we hope the President will approach Israel as the friend and front line ally she is," Morgenstern said.

I second your motion.
Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is the largest pro-Israel organization in the United States with over two million members and one of the leading Christian grassroots movements in the world. We have only 25 staff, but serve over two million members and conduct over 40 pro-Israel events every month.
The purpose of Christians United For Israel (CUFI) is to provide a national association through which every pro-Israel church, parachurch organization, ministry or individual in America can speak and act with one voice in support of Israel in matters related to Biblical issues.
Goals and Objectives
To educate and build Christian support for Israel throughout America.
While millions of Christians support Israel, there are millions more who do not yet vocally stand up for the Jewish state. It is crucial to educate Christians on the Biblical and moral imperatives to support Israel and to build Christian support for Israel throughout America. CUFI accomplishes these goals through:
CUFI educates millions of Christians about Israel and the Middle East through our regular email alerts and myriad of social media channels.
CUFIs Nights to Honor Israel in communities across the country are life-changing events that open Christians eyes to the importance of supporting Israel and the Jewish people.
CUFIs Standing with Israel Meetings equip Christians with the facts to defend and support Israel.
CUFI’s Pastors’ Briefings enhance pastors knowledge about Israel, the Middle East, and CUFI.
Christians United for Israel Sunday is one day when Christians around the world unite in prayer and action on behalf of Israel
CUFIs Pastors Leadership Tours educate and empower pastors with a deeper awareness of the importance of ensuring their churches demonstrate love and support for the State of Israel.
CUFIs quarterly conference calls with Israeli and U.S. elected officials enable CUFI members to learn first-hand about the issues facing Israel.
CUFI ON CAMPUS equips and trains Christian students to become effective pro-Israel advocates on their campuses, in their churches, and in their communities.
CUFIs website and blog provides cutting-edge educational resources about Israel and the Middle East.
CUFIs magazine, The Torch, publishes articles by Middle East policy experts.
To Communicate Pro-Israel Perspectives to Elected Officials.
While it is important that we pray for Israel, it is also important that we put feet to our prayers and speak truth to power about the need to stand with Israel at this critical juncture in history. CUFI accomplishes these goals through:
CUFIs annual Washington Summit enables CUFI members to personally speak with their elected officials on behalf of Israel.
CUFIs Action Alerts mobilize CUFIs over one million members to contact their members of Congress or the Administration on critical policy issues.
"The US- Israel relationship is central to the national security interests of both nations," CUFI spokesman Ari Morgenstern told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, we do not believe President Obama has been a good steward of this alliance and in general has created a situation in which our enemies do not fear us and our friends do not trust us."
Good statement.
The truth is always welcome.
Not to worry, we haven’t had U. S. Israeli ties since January of 2009.
Until we are rid of this “LIAR IN CHIEF” BIBI had just better keep this administration at “ARMS LENGTH”. He should know by now, anything and everything coming out of this administration means very bad things for Israel. I’m including John Kerry (WHO SERVED IN VIET NAM) in this. I expect this latter day Neville Chamberlain, to be waving a piece of paper, declaring that he has gotten PEACE IN OUR TIMES, after his negotiations with the Iranian Mullahs.
