Dr. Mike Evans, the founder of the Friends of Zion Museum and a member of the Trump Evangelical Advisory team has hailed the United States announcement that Israeli settlements do not contravene international law, saying, "for all Bible-believers, this is a huge accomplishment and is as big as the President's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital."
According to Evans "America has finally decided that the Bible is no longer illegal." In other words, by this move, the United States government is recognizing the Biblical prophecy of Judea and Samaria as part of Israel. He also believes that this move will allow the State of Israel to push forward with sovereignty in these disputed lands.
