STRASBOURG, France, July 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- After spending nearly a week in Israel as terrorists launched violent attacks against the Israelis, and now in Strasbourg, France – the home of the European Union, ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow plans to interview a top European Union leader who specializes in the Middle East about the battle being waged by Israel to combat terrorism – an interview that will take place tomorrow on his nationally broadcast radio program. 

Sekulow, who is working this week at the offices of the European Centre for Law and Justice, an organization affiliated with the ACLJ, will talk with Bas Belder, Vice-Chairperson of the European Union Israel Relations Committee and a member of the European Parliament representing the Netherlands.  Belder is a two-term member of the European Parliament and apart from his duties with the Israel Relations Committee is also a member of the Foreign Relations Committee of the European Parliament.  Belder was also the first chairperson of the United States Relations Committee of the European Parliament.

“This is a critical time in the world as Israel battles to defend itself against terrorist organizations which have pledged to destroy the nation of Israel,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ.  “It is extremely important that the world governments understand that Israel is doing what it should – fighting to eliminate the terrorists and their infrastructure – something that must occur before freedom and peace can exist.  Bas Belder understands the unique challenges facing Israel and we look forward to a vibrant discussion about this critical time for Israel, for the Middle East, and for the world.”

Sekulow will talk with Belder on Tuesday, July 18th at 12:00pm Eastern Time on Jay Sekulow Live! – which is carried on more than 550 Christian radio stations nationwide reaching an estimated 1.5 million listeners daily.  You can locate a radio station or network that carries Jay Sekulow Live! by clicking here.
