Insists US has a 'moral obligation' to ensure Israeli security

- In an
unusually frank look at the theology
underpinning US policy in the Middle East,
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, during his
visit to Israel said he believes that it is
“possible” that God sent President Trump to
Earth as a “savior”
to protect Israel from Iran, adding “I
am confident that the Lord is at work here.”
This is not the first time the Trump
Administration has tried to pin a divine
endorsement on Trump, with
Press Secretary Sarah Sanders previously
saying that God is the one who wanted Trump
to be president
in the first place.
Pompeo tried to compare Trump favorably with
the biblical Queen Esther, a Persian
imperial queen who convinces her husband to
rescue the Jews from Haman. This comes amid
Israel’s Purim holiday, commemorating
exactly this religious event.

In
further talks with Israeli President Reuven
Rivlin, Pompeo added that he believes the US
has a “moral obligation” to ensure the
security of Israel, and that the US acts “on
a daily basis” on Israel’s behalf.
This suggests that the Trump Administration
believes supporting Israel is effectively a
religious duty, and furthermore that Trump
has been appointed personally by God to
enact his will, which is in some way hostile
toward Iran. Fortunately, this appears to
have been the exact policy Trump was
inclined toward in the first place.
