A rally in support of Israel is set to be held this week at Legislative Plaza in Nashville.
The rally, hosted by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ), will be held from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. on Friday. The rally will feature special guest speakers including state representatives, senators, pastors, rabbis, music artists, and community leaders.
The following speakers have since been confirmed to be present at Friday’s event:
- Pastor L. Barrington Allen, Founder & President of Total Life Victory

- Dan Horowitz, CEO of the Nashville Jewish Federation.
- Pastor Tony Crisp

ICEJ urges those planning on attending the rally to only bring clear plastic handbags as no backpacks are allowed. In addition, the organization encourages attendees to arrive one hour before the rally is scheduled to begin to clear security. Gates open for the rally at noon.
The organization encourages attendees to bring U.S. and Israeli flags to the rally.
The rally is intended for Jewish and Christian communities to “come together in unity to stand with Israel.”
Friday’s upcoming event comes after two straight weekends of pro-Palestine rallies in Nashville hosted by the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), as previously reported by The Tennessee Star.
