Christians for Israel ('Christenen voor Israel') is a Dutch Christian Zionist organisation. It was founded in 1979 by Karel van Oordt and Pee Koelewijn.[1] In 1998 Christians for Israel International was founded by international affiliates of CFI.[1] The organisation has close ties with the Christian Friends of Israeli Communities which facilitates settlement activity in the Occupied Territories. The latter organisation has been described as CFI's 'daughter organisation'.[2]

Reportedly one of Christians for Israel's activities is supporting illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.[2] In the organisation's store products made in the occupied West Bank are sold.[2]
