(ANA-MPA) – Jerusalem Patriarch Theofilos III and the religious
leaders of the Christian Churches of the Holy Land called for an
immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, in a joint announcement issued
on Sunday.
Appealing to the leaders of Israel and Palestine, they called on them
to stop every act of war immediately, while appealing to the
international community in parallel to take action immediately to put
an end to the conflict that has caused hundreds of victims, including
many children.
The leaders of Christianity, Patriarchs and Archbishops (Greek
Orthodox Jerusalem Patriarch Theofilos III, Latin Patriarch Fouad Twal
and Armenian Patriarch Torkom III) expressed their "profound sorrow
and abhorrence over the new round of violence, the destruction and the
bloodshed that are taking place in the Gaza Strip during a period that
coincides in time with the celebration of the Birth of the King of
love and peace."
