The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned, today, Wednesday, the settlers´ assault on the Romanian Church in occupied Jerusalem.
In a press statement, the Foreign Ministry held the Israeli government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, fully responsible for this attack and for the escalation in targeting holy places and Christian and Islamic places of worship and freedom of access to them, as well as targeting dozens of religious, archaeological and historical sites throughout the length and breadth of the West Bank. It was also quoted by the official news agency "Wafa".
And I considered that these attacks represent an explicit call for religious war to conceal the political nature of the conflict, and called on the international community and the relevant UN organizations to move quickly to provide international protection for our people in general, and for Christian and Islamic sanctities, especially including ensuring freedom of worship and the right of worshipers to access them as a basic principle of human rights, and as a part Important in the Geneva Conventions, the occupying power must abide by it.
Yesterday, settlers set fire to the entrance to the monastery of the Roman Church in Jerusalem, which was the fourth attack on the same church in less than a month.
