The Jerusalem Petition

The time is rapidly approaching when Israeli-Palestinian peace talks will focus on the final status of Jerusalem and other key issues. The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem is launching a petition drive to demonstrate Christian support for Israel's claim to Jerusalem at this crucial time when tremendous pressure will be exerted to re-divide the city.

We are asking Christians from all over the world to endorse and sign this petition, which will be featured in a document of support presented to the state of Israel in March 2000, during the Planning Meeting for the next Christian Zionist Congress.

We will be collecting names and signatures through various means, including via the Internet (See our website at http://www.icej.org.il). Please read the following statements and signify your agreement by return email to [email protected]. We ask that you forward this email alert to others who may be interested in signing. We also invite you to print a copy of this petition to circulate for signatures, to be returned to the ICEJ by mail at PO Box 1192, Jerusalem 91010 Israel; or by facsimile at tel. # 972-2-5669970. We encourage all signatories, if agreeable, to include their mailing address so that we may send you relevant materials in future.

STATEMENT OF SUPPORT

"We, the undersigned, support Israel's exclusive claim to sovereignty over united Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. We commend Israel for its exemplary record in guaranteeing access to the biblical sites in Jerusalem and throughout Israel, and support the continuation of Israel in this role."
