Fatah: Israeli decisions on churches aim at closing them
(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Ramallah, Feb. 25 (Petra) -- Fatah Movement on Sunday condemned Israeli decisions that target churches and their historical status in Jerusalem and said that these decisions target the Christian presence in Palestine. Fatah movement's spokesman and member of its Revolutionary Council, Osama al-Qawasmi, said in a press statement that imposing taxes and changing the status quo is a violation against all churches around the world and an attempt to tighten the noose on churches, in order to close them.
He called for a firm international stance against the Israeli measures that contravene all conventions on Christian holy sites in the occupied city.
Al-Qawasmi commended the stance of all churches, stressing that Christians in Palestine along with their churches, are an integral part of the Palestinian identity.
"Violating Christians' rights or churches is an assault on all Palestinians, he said, adding that "we will stand together in defense of our churches and mosques and will reject the racist measures against our people and holy sites".
