Conservative Christians, particularly evangelicals, are increasingly supporting Israel through donations, visits, and volunteer work in response to the recent conflict with Hamas. This support is driven by religious beliefs and a sense of solidarity with Israel, despite rising antisemitism and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza.

The support includes significant financial contributions and on-the-ground assistance, particularly in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
