Israel Mourns Charlie Kirk: ”A True Friend”

Charlie Kirk, a top podcaster and supporter of President Trump, was shot and killed by a sniper on Wednesday during a public appearance at a college in Utah. He was 31. Kirk was also known as a passionate advocate for Israel, frequently basing his pro-Israel stance in his Christian faith.

Kirk, an evangelical Christian, was powerfully pro-Israel and often debated pro-Palestinian college students in videos shared online. Kirk’s Turning Point USA has maintained ties with pro-Israel organizations and regularly hosted pro-Israel speakers at its conferences.

Kirk visited Israel in 2019 for a fact-finding tour that deepened his advocacy. He told a crowd at a Jerusalem bar during his second trip: “I’m very pro-Israel, I’m an evangelical Christian, I’m a conservative, I’m a Trump supporter, I’m a Republican, and my whole life I have defended Israel.”

Prime Minister Netanyahu lamented Kirk’s death in a post to X.
