At the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) summit in Jerusalem, pastors, theologians, and Jewish leaders expressed concern over what they described as a resurgence of antisemitism and replacement theology within parts of the Christian world. The event, held in June 2026, brought together speakers who warned that these ideologies are undermining support for Israel among some evangelical and mainstream Protestant groups.
Speakers at the summit highlighted that replacement theology—the belief that the Christian Church has superseded Israel in God's plan—is being revived in certain theological circles, leading to a decrease in solidarity with the Jewish state. They also noted a rise in antisemitic incidents globally, citing data from organizations like the Anti-Defamation League, which reported a 34% increase in antisemitic attacks in the United States in 2025 compared to the previous year.
The summit aimed to reaffirm Christian Zionist support for Israel and to counter these trends through education and interfaith dialogue. Organizers emphasized the importance of biblical teachings that affirm God's covenant with the Jewish people, and they called on churches worldwide to reject replacement theology and actively combat antisemitism.
