Dutch Christian leader Jack Van Der Tang traveled from The Hague to the Arutz Sheva–Shomron Conference to rally international Christian support for Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, deliver a dramatic appeal to the ICJ, and launch a faith-based campaign to counter attempts to divide the Land of Israel.
Jack Van Der Tang — a prominent Christian leader from The Hague — delivered a stirring, unapologetic message of solidarity with Israel at the Arutz Sheva–Shomron Conference produced with the Samaria Regional Council. Traveling from the Netherlands to stand with local leaders, Van Der Tang framed Judea and Samaria not as negotiable real estate but as the biblical heartland of Israel: “Judea and Samaria are part of Israel, and we are really fighting for it,” he declared.
Van Der Tang said he speaks for thousands of Christians worldwide who accept the Tanakh’s teachings about the land and who refuse to remain silent out of fear. “I am not afraid. I speak loudly,” he told the conference, urging Israel to act decisively rather than explain itself to an often-hostile world. Pointing at recent events in Gaza as proof that history and providence are at work, he insisted Israel must not cede these territories.
He described his partnership with Samaria Regional Council Governor Yossi Dagan as part of an international “battlefield for truth.” Van Der Tang emphasized the power of bringing people to see the land in person: visiting Samaria, he said, converts abstract debate into lived conviction. “When you see it with your own eyes, you understand why this is the heart of the land,” he said.
Van Der Tang also singled out the International Court of Justice. In response to the ICJ’s 2024 advisory opinion that judged Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria illegal, he organized a mass demonstration in The Hague that drew some 1,000 participants from 40 nations. In a dramatic move, he personally delivered a scripture-based decree — signed by Christian organizations and indigenous peoples — to the Peace Palace, asserting that nations that divide Israel will be judged according to the prophets Joel and Isaiah.
Looking forward, Van Der Tang outlined an ambitious plan: the creation of a “League of Christian Nations and Indigenous Peoples” — a new global forum to counter international bodies hostile to Israel and to amplify faith-based diplomacy on the world stage. He argued this network would bring a powerful, principled voice for Israel to venues such as the United Nations.
Van Der Tang’s remarks resonate beyond theology. They signal an intensifying international grassroots movement — faith-driven, globally connected, and politically vocal — that sees Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria as not only strategic but sacred. Whether through on-the-ground tours, legal challenges in The Hague, or the formation of transnational alliances, Van Der Tang’s campaign aims to shift global opinion by mobilizing believers and indigenous voices to defend Israel’s claims.
His closing message was direct and uncompromising: biblical conviction, grassroots pressure, and international organizing can change the debate. For Van Der Tang and his allies, Judea and Samaria are not a bargaining chip — they are the heart of Israel, and they will be defended.
