Christian Friends of Israeli Communities (CFOIC) is a Christian Zionist organisation that supports illegal settlement in the occupied territories:

CFOIC Heartland enables Christians to connect with the Jewish communities (settlements) in the heart of Biblical Israel. Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”) is not occupied territory. It is the birthplace of the Jewish people.[1]

According to the CFOIC website the organisation was launched in the wake of the Oslo accords in 1995:

Christian Friends of Israeli Communities (CFOIC Heartland) was established in 1995. as a Christian response to the Oslo Peace Accords in 1993. Christians around the world were deeply troubled by Israel’s major territorial concessions and felt compelled to stand with the people of Judea and Samaria.[2]
