Al-Seyassah: Bishop of Jerusalem Episcopal Church warns against Judaization
Palestine-Israel, Politics, 8/16/2004

Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem Revd. Riah Hanna Abu El-Assal warned against Israel's continued Judization of the holy city of Jerusalem.

The Bishop said in an interview published Sunday in the Kuwait daily Al-Seyassah that Israeli authorities and settlers confiscate by force a lot of Palestinian lands as part of a plot to Judaize the city of Jerusalem and al-Aqsa Mosque.

The clergyman also condemned Israel's building of the racial separation wall despite the ruling by the International Court of Justice on its illegality.

Bishop Abu El-Assal called on the international community to face up to Israeli practices and help establish just and comprehensive peace in the region and secure Palestinian people's legitimate rights to an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
