Christian Group Mounts a Strong Defense for Israel in Washington

“An unidentified guest uses a Trump Hotel branded umbrella as she walks into the West Wing of the White House,” read the caption of an Associated Press photo in the Washington Examiner picturing an attractive young woman whose face is becoming increasingly familiar in Washington political circles.

Sandy Hagee Parker is the chairwoman of Christians United for Israel Action Fund (CUFI), the lobbying arm of the largest pro-Israel organization in the country. An accomplished attorney, she is also the daughter of Pastor John Hagee, founder and chairman of the influential Israel advocacy group.
