American Support Highlights Egypt’s Shift on Jerusalem Visit

The article discusses the evolution of the Egyptian Church's stance on visiting Jerusalem. Previously, the Church refused such visits due to political disagreements with Israel and its opposition to normalization. However, it now considers visiting Jerusalem a personal freedom and does not penalize those who choose to go. The Church's spokesperson confirmed that the Church does not prohibit visits to Jerusalem, explaining that they are motivated by Palestinian requests and religious and spiritual reasons, while reaffirming its support for the Palestinian cause. Visits by Copts to Jerusalem at the end of Pope Shenouda's era were limited and cautious. Now, under Pope Tawadros, the situation has become more flexible, with no direct instructions issued to allow or forbid visits. Nevertheless, the Church maintains a firm stance on the Palestinian issue and continues to oppose normalization.
