Mike Pompeo and David Friedman guide on historic road.

The Journey Along Route 60: Exploring ​the Historic Heart of Israel

Embark ⁣on a captivating adventure with two remarkable diplomats ⁣who played⁤ a pivotal role in​ the groundbreaking ⁤Abraham Accords⁤ during the Trump administration. Secretary of ‌State ‌Mike Pompeo and U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman ​have joined⁤ forces once again, this time as tour​ guides on an extraordinary 146-mile highway that boasts ‌a history unlike any other in the ​world.

In their captivating new documentary, “Route 60,” Pompeo ⁤and Friedman take us ⁢on a mesmerizing journey through the heart of the Jewish state. While both men are political figures, their film primarily focuses on the religious history that unfolds ​along this iconic ​road. They trace biblical ⁤events that span millennia,​ bringing them to ⁣life on a literal map, all within walking distance from⁤ this single route.

A Road of Religious Significance

The religious diversity of Pompeo and Friedman perfectly matches⁤ the rich⁢ tapestry of religious offerings along Route 60. For Christians, the ⁤road passes through Nazareth, Bethlehem, and ​Jerusalem — significant locations in the ‍life and death of Jesus. However, the biblical history of this road predates Jesus, stretching back to King David’s time ‍when Jerusalem became Israel’s capital city.‍ It also encompasses⁢ revered Jewish sites such ⁤as Rachel’s Tomb and the Altar of Joshua, where the foundations of a Jewish state were laid.

The journey culminates in⁣ Beersheba, a city⁤ steeped in biblical history ⁣and⁢ the site of a biblical peace agreement made by Abraham, revered by the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths alike.‍ Friedman aptly⁣ refers⁤ to it ‌as⁢ “the first of ⁢the⁢ Abraham Accords, the real Abraham accords.”

A Journey ⁤of Discovery and Joy

Pompeo and Friedman complement each ‍other beautifully ​in the film. Their profound knowledge of their respective faiths and their genuine⁣ desire to learn ⁤from one another create a captivating dynamic. Even⁣ Friedman, who served as the United States‍ ambassador ⁤to Israel, discovers new ⁣wonders along the route that he had ⁤never experienced before.

The documentary treats viewers to ‍stunning visuals ‍and unprecedented access to historic sites. It ⁢breathes new life into moments from the Bible, such as the garden where Jesus is⁢ said to have‌ prayed ⁤after the Last Supper. It also ‌uncovers lesser-known stops,​ like the rooftop in the City ⁣of David where King David is believed ⁤to have seen Bathsheba bathing, leading ‍to a ⁣scandalous‌ affair and a lesson on ⁢political accountability.

A Celebration of Triumphs

While the⁤ film remains focused on religion, it also serves as a triumphant celebration of Pompeo and Friedman’s⁣ achievements. ⁤Throughout ​the ⁤journey, they discuss their policy ‌successes, including⁢ the relocation of the U.S. Embassy from Tel ⁢Aviv to Jerusalem.⁤ They also highlight the positive⁣ impact of‍ the “Pompeo Doctrine,” which recognized the legitimacy of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, boosting ​their⁢ economic growth.

Pompeo shares a⁢ personal triumph ‌outside of Israel, recounting how his Christian​ faith empowered him to demand the release of three Americans⁤ detained‌ by ‍North Korea’s dictatorship. Their subsequent release marked a historic moment for the Trump administration.

A Journey Towards Peace

The film serves as a continuation of Pompeo and Friedman’s mission with​ the Abraham Accords,⁣ which⁣ aimed to promote peace among the three Abrahamic religions and⁢ humanity as a whole.‍ Route 60, located ‌in Palestinian-controlled territory in​ the West‌ Bank, holds immense ⁣significance for these religions. Friedman​ believes that it can serve as a tool to further advance peace in the ​region, building ⁣upon⁢ the momentous steps taken with the Abraham Accords.

As the ⁢film concludes, Friedman reflects on‍ the progress made but ‍acknowledges that there is still work⁤ to be done in ⁢eradicating hatred and achieving ‌lasting ‍peace.

Don’t miss the opportunity to ‍experience this extraordinary film. “Route 60” will be shown in select theaters⁤ for just two days, on September 18 and 19. Join Pompeo and Friedman‌ on this unforgettable journey through the heart ​of Israel.
