“…The relations between Israel and the Evangelicals attracted significant scholarly attention lately (Mayer, 2004;Baumgartner et al, 2008;Gries, 2015;Inbari and Bumin, 2020;Ziv, 2022). All the current research has reached a similar conclusion: Evangelicals are very supportive of the State of Israel compared to other religious groups.…”

The study of religion and international relations has achieved renewed attention in the last two decades. This study investigates a specific aspect of this field: religious soft power. It focuses on individuals who were affected by religious soft power and develop a typology of courses of action these individuals can take vis-à-vis their home state. I argue that individuals can take three different types of actions: disruptive, reformative, and transnational. Using the cases of the Catholic Church and its followers, ISIS and Sunni believers, and the relations between Israel and the Evangelicals, I assess how these alternative actions are being manifested by different groups of individuals. Lastly, I offer an answer to the question of when individuals would use disruptive action and when will they use reformative one.

“…Baumgartner et al (2008) found that Evangelicals are more likely to take Israel's side in its conflict with the Palestinians and push for a more pro-Israeli stance in the Middle East in general. Inbari and Bumin (2020) Nevertheless, these studies all focus on personal preferences, while falling short of explaining whether such tendencies influence and shape foreign policy at the national level. Even if at the individual level, Evangelicals do hold more positive attitudes toward Israel, the answer to the question of whether these attitudes lead to pro-Israeli policies at the national level remains open.…”

“…Baumgartner et al (2008) found that Evangelicals are more likely to take Israel's side in its conflict with the Palestinians and push for a more pro-Israeli stance in the Middle East in general. Inbari and Bumin (2020) found that more than a third of Evangelicals would support Israel if it annexed the West Bank. Several surveys conducted in the United States have shown similar tendencies.…”

The relations of the Evangelical movement and Israel have drawn the attention of many scholars of religion, public opinion, and political science in the last two decades. This study examines the influence of Evangelicals on their country's policy toward Israel. I conduct the first quantitative, cross-national research, investigating the links between the size of the Evangelical population of a country and its support for Israel. Analyzing 198 UN General Assembly votes of 18 Latin American countries from 2009 to 2019, my results show that as the Evangelical population in a country grows, so does its support for Israel. Unpredictably, I also find that a state of armed conflict between Israel and the Palestinians does not decrease the support for Israel.
