In this captivating sermon, we delve into a pivotal moment in diplomatic history. James Baker, the U.S. Secretary of State during George H.W. Bush’s presidency, clashed with Israel over security concessions. Meanwhile, a newly-appointed Israeli Foreign Minister, David Levy, faced a critical meeting with Baker.
