    For a lot of evangelicals and orthodox jews, they believe the Third Temple must be built at Temple Mount for the Messiah to return/come. Christians are a death cult and it’s part of their eschatology to work towards those ends to bring about the Second Coming and the rise of New Jerusalem/Zion.

    In terms of realpolitik Israel is a strategic foothold in an geographically important area rich with resources and trade routes.

      Note that plenty of Christians reject these attempts to bring on judgement day just as many Jews reject the forceful invasion of the Holy Land to bring on a promised Jewish state.

      Abrahamic faith is pretty clear on the decision of when to call judgement day to be solely in the hands of God and noone except God knows.
