Israel takes land from Greek Orthodox Patriarchate
The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem protested Israel's illegal seizure of a plot of land belonging to them in Silwan, which took place on June 15, 2026. The site was confiscated, their representative was expelled, and the area was surrounded by fences and gates. The Patriarchate considers this an assault on its church property in Jerusalem. This incident is part of a rising pattern of attacks targeting the Christian presence in the city and is linked to the demolition of Palestinian homes in Silwan aimed at expanding the "City of David" project. International organizations such as Human Rights Watch condemn these actions, regard them as war crimes.
