As Israeli-Palestinian tensions remain high, only a few days ahead of new talks between officials from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Jordan and the US in Sharm-el Sheikh, and amid ongoing unrest over PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial judicial reform, Jerusalem saw yet another episode of violence against Christians during the past weekend.
The statement released on Sunday, remarked that attacks “targeting churches, cemeteries, and Christian properties, in addition to physical and verbal abuse against Christian clergy, have become almost a daily occurrence that evidently increases in intensity during Christian festivities”.Both Christian and Muslim holy places have come under attack many times recently. Christian targets struck in the past years include the Basilica of Nazareth and Catholic and Greek-Orthodox buildings.
On December 16, 2022, the Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land , voiced their concerns over the “gradual deterioration of the general social and political” situation in the Holy Land, also pointing to “divisive statements” made by some political leaders against “the Arab or otherwise non-Jewish community” which, they said, “are contrary to the spirit of peaceful and constructive coexistence among the various communities that make up our society”.
Since the beginning of the year, more than 80 Palestinians - militants and civilians - have been killed by Israeli forces, and, on the Israeli side, 13 people lost their lives in deadly Palestinian attacks.
