Supreme Council warns of Israeli colonization threat
The Higher Presidential Committee for Church Affairs in Palestine issued a warning about the escalating Israeli settlement policies in the Holy Land, which threaten the existence of the Palestinian Christian community. This comes particularly in light of the Israeli Cabinet’s decision to approve the establishment of 34 new settlements in the West Bank, including six settlements in Bethlehem. The plan aims to expand and connect settlement clusters, isolate Palestinian cities, and seize agricultural lands—some of which are owned by Christian families—in direct violation of international law. The committee called on global churches to take responsibility by rejecting settlement expansion and defending Palestinian rights to preserve the historic Christian presence in the Holy Land.
