January 30, 2006- The Knesset Christian Allies Caucus (KCAC) met today, January 30, 2006, at 12:00 in the Knesset Lecture Hall to celebrate its achievements in 2005 and its two-year anniversary. During the meeting, the KCAC reviewed its past and future initiatives and discussed the need for a joint Judeo-Christian front against Hamas.

"The Hamas victory is the first radical Islamic Arab revolution in the Middle East and this regime is ultimately anti-Jewish and anti-Christian. This poses a direct challenge to Jewish and Christian sovereignty in the region," said Member of Knesset Dr. Yuri Shtern, the co-Chairman of KCAC.

Rebecca Brimmer, president of Bridges for Peace, then posed the question, "What is there to do when the people democratically decide to elect evil?"

Later, Josh Reinstein, the director of the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus, commented, "As the rise of radical Islam looms over us, it is no coincidence that Jews and Christians are coming together around the world in an unprecedented burst of activity."

The Knesset Christian Allies Caucus was established in January of 2004 to open formal and direct lines of communication between the representatives of the Jewish people and Christian leaders around the world. The Caucus consists of fifteen members of Knesset from seven political parties across the political spectrum.
