Summary
More than 1,000 Christian leaders and influencers from 122 countries gathered in Jerusalem on Wednesday for an international memorial marking the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre.
The Friends of Zion Ambassador Summit event brought together released hostages, bereaved families, wounded Israelis, Jewish leaders and diplomats to signal that Israel "does not stand alone."
Dozens of TV networks carried the memorial live, while delegates visited Yad Vashem and are scheduled to tour the Nova festival site and meet former hostages including Noa Argamani.
Organizers framed the summit as both remembrance and a pushback against rising antisemitism, saying Christian support for Israel remains strong despite anti-Israel activism and denial of Jewish suffering.
