Getting to Jerusalem had become part of the story.  

With US strikes on Iran, Iranian missile fire toward Israel, and repeated changes to regional air traffic, travel plans were uncertain for many of those trying to reach the country, as well as for tourists and residents wondering when they would be able to leave. For the pastors, theologians, diplomats, and Jewish leaders who came anyway, the disruption gave the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) summit a sharper edge than organizers might have expected.  

The Jerusalem Summit, which took place between June 9 and 11, was a three-day gathering to discuss Israel, the Church, and antisemitism. By the time it opened, the regional crisis was no longer background noise. It was part of the atmosphere. But the speakers who took the stage were not focused only on Iran, missiles, or flight schedules. Their warning was that another crisis was taking shape inside parts of the Christian world itself, where support for Israel is being challenged by biblical illiteracy, political resentment, social media narratives, and renewed forms of replacement theology.
