Mike Pompeo Suggests Trump May Have Been Sent By “God” To Save Israel
During an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was posed a question on whether he believed President Donald Trump was “raised” to “help save the Jewish people,” to which he responded, “As a Christian, I certainly believe that’s possible.”
The secretary then appeared to double down his assertion that the president may be receiving divine intervention adding that he is “confident that the Lord is at work here,” citing the “remarkable history of the faith in this place and the work that our administration’s done to make sure that this democracy in the Middle East, that this Jewish state, remains.”
Pompeo’s remarks came shortly after Trump announced on Twitter that the United States would recognize Israel sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

Both the European Union and Syria were quick to reject the president’s decision to recognize the Golan Heights as part of Isreal. The E.U. issued a joint statement clarifying that “the European Union, in line with international law, does not recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967, including the Golan Heights and does not consider them to be part of Israel’s territory,” an E.U. spokesperson said.
