Standing on the biblical soil of Samaria, Pastor Larry Huch didn’t mince words.
“There’s nowhere in the Bible it’s called the West Bank,” he said, looking out over the heartland of Israel. “Physically, we cannot give up this land… but spiritually, this land here in Samaria… is the foundation of our belief in God.”
That was the tone for the latest episode of New Beginnings on Daystar, as Pastor Larry and Governor Yossi Dagan took viewers to a place most tourists never go: the rugged, prophetic hills of Judea and Samaria. To them, it’s not just land—it’s destiny.

Governor Dagan put it plainly: “To bring sovereignty to Judea and Samaria is not just historical justice… it’s to say thank you very much to God.”
Huch agreed, warning that denying Israel’s claim to this land isn’t a neutral position—it’s rebellion against a 3,700-year-old promise. “Don’t ever use the term ‘West Bank’ again,” he urged. “It’s never been the West Bank. It is Judea and Samaria. And Israel’s right to exist? That was determined by Almighty God when He said to Abraham, ‘I give this land right here, this land to the Jewish people forever.’”
These aren’t just political statements. For Huch, this is about aligning with God’s Word in a dangerous world. “I believe my wife and my grandchild are alive today, defeating cancer, because we stand with the nation of Israel,” he said.
They also pointed to Oct. 7, when Israel was attacked by Hamas, as proof of the need for full Israeli sovereignty. “To protect Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion Airport, and all the big cities in Israel on the ground,” said Dagan, “we must hold this land. This is the time of Judea and Samaria.”
Pastor Larry took it even further. “This is our Esther moment,” he said. “If you don’t stand with Israel, if you don’t stand with the sovereignty of Judea and Samaria, then God will raise someone else up—but don’t think you and your family will escape. That’s the blessing and the curse.”
And for those who question the relevance of Israel to Christians, Pastor Larry had this to say: “Standing with Israel is standing on the promises of God… And if we are silent, we’re part of the problem.”
He thanked President Donald Trump for his recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and called on him to take the next step. “I believe… he is going to acknowledge Judea and Samaria. He’s a ‘promises made, promises kept’ kind of guy.”

At the end of the segment, Huch left viewers with a challenge—and a choice. “I feel like it’s Moses all over again: choose what side you’re on. You want to serve God? Stand on my side. Bless Israel.”
For those ready to take that stand, Huch reminded believers that their voice matters: in elections, in churches and in everyday conversations. “If you’re going to a church that’s not saying, ‘We stand with Israel,’ you need to go somewhere else.”
Now more than ever, Pastor Larry says, is the time for Christians to be bold. “This is our time,” he said. “To prepare Israel for the coming of the Messiah. And to make the Bible land great again—because that’s how we make America godly again.”
