A historic visit President Donald J. Trump on his tour of the Middle East also visited the Augusta Victoria Hospital in East #Jerusalem today, announcing USD 100 million in assistance to the East Jerusalem Hospital Network. @elcjhl #POTUSvisitAVH ELCA Lutherans lutheranworld.org/news/jerusalem…

I am grateful that President Donald J. Trump visited The Lutheran World Federation's Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem. His affirmation “to support health & dignity for the Palestinian people” demonstrates our common commitment to life-saving health care provided to Palestinians on a humanitarian basis.

Polarization and dehumanization are being fueled by a tsunami of disinformation. We must stand up to the forces of antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry and all forms of hate.

.UNICEF & World Health Organization (WHO) have called for an IMMEDIATE PAUSE in hostilities in Gaza to vaccinate children against the further spread of the insidious poliovirus. President Donald J. Trump should do the same. As we work toward a permanent ceasefire & return of hostages, we must stop the spread of polio NOW.
