Christian Leaders in West Bank Call for Accountability and End to Israeli Settler Violence

HeadlineJul 18, 2025

In the occupied West Bank, Christian leaders have accused Israeli settlers of attacking religious sites, including an arson attack on a cemetery and a 5th-century church in the Christian town of Taybeh. The Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III told reporters, “We call for an immediate and transparent investigation on why the Israeli police did not respond to emergency calls from the local community and why these abhorrent actions continue to go unpunished.”
