In a welcome piece of reporting that should warm the hearts of every patriot who treasures our Judeo-Christian foundations, NEWSMAX correspondent Jodie Cohen walked viewers beneath Jerusalem to the Pilgrim’s Road — the same ancient ascent that shepherds, prophets and pilgrims once trod on their way to the Temple. City of David officials and scholars have long described this stepped street as one of the most consequential archaeological finds for understanding the shared heritage of Jews and Christians, and the site’s caretakers are rightly proud to show it to the world.
Archaeologists have painstakingly revealed the Pilgrim’s Road — a monumental paved street running from the Pool of Siloam toward the Temple Mount — and the recent work has unearthed coins, lamps and inscriptions that place the road squarely in the volcanic years around the first century. The southern sections have been opened in phases, and the full public access announced in late 2025 and expanded in 2026 has allowed ordinary Americans and pilgrims to see with their own eyes what our history books describe.
The report also notes ongoing attention to Byzantine-period remains in the same neighborhood, a reminder that Jerusalem’s layers of faith and civilization stack up like strata of truth. Scholars and early excavators documented Byzantine churches and Christian pilgrimage infrastructure around the Ophel and Siloam areas, and modern teams are planning further controlled excavations to bring more of that era into the light.
This rediscovery of civilization beneath the modern city arrives as practical ties between America and Israel are being restored — United Airlines has announced it will resume nonstop San Francisco–Tel Aviv service beginning March 28, 2027, a concrete sign that transatlantic and transpacific bridges are being rebuilt after disruptive years. That decision, part of a broader international expansion, is not just about convenience for travelers; it is a vote of confidence in Israel’s stability and in the enduring bond between our peoples.
Let’s be clear: the fact that U.S. carriers had to suspend flights during the chaos of October 2023 was a bitter but necessary moment for safety, yet Americans who care about freedom should cheer their return rather than apologize for it. Restoring nonstop routes and protecting archaeological sites are twin acts of defiance against those who would erase history or sever the ties that bind democratic allies — hardworking Americans should support both the preservation of Jerusalem’s past and the businesses that reconnect our nations.
