As the Religious Right has increased its political influence on U.S. foreign policy, the issue of Israel's identity has become a key focus. Christians often disagreeas to whether or not ethnic Jews remain the chosen people of God, because of Jesus Christ's New Testament covenant. Some believe in dispensationalism, while others subscribe to Reformed theology. Jews have a critical voice in the conversation about which group can claim to be God's chosen people. It is important to remember that God has promised all people His love and protection, a reality that should inform strained Jewish-Christian and intra-Christian relations over modern Middle East politics
