Islamic Christian Commission warns of the escalation of occupation’s plans to Judaize occupied Al-Quds

The Islamic Christian Commission for the Support of occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the Holy Sites warned of the escalation of the Israeli occupation plans to Judaize the occupied city of Al-Quds, especially during the Christmas and New Year celebrations, calling on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities and take practical and serious steps to stop the Israeli attempts.

In a statement circulated today by Wafa News Agency, the Commission confirmed that the occupation authorities are trying to obliterate the Arab, Palestinian, Islamic, and Christian identity of Al-Quds, leading to its Judaization, by removing religious and archaeological monuments and sites, changing the features of the Arab-Palestinian face, undermining the Palestinian demographic presence in the city and seizing Islamic and Christian property including the Greek Orthodox church in Bab Al-Khlil area.

The Commission stated: “The insistence of the Council of Churches in Al-Quds to light up the Christmas tree in the Imperial Hotel constitutes a message emphasizing the rejection of the Israeli occupation plans, confirming the Palestinian Christian national identity, and rejecting any attempt to change the historical and legal status quo in the Holy City.”

The Commission indicated that the Palestinian people are subjected to Israeli aggressive practices in all the details of their lives, and they are one people, Christians and Muslims, who defend their just cause, rights, land, property and Christian and Islamic sanctities, especially in the occupied city of Al-Quds and its spiritual, cultural and historical heritage.
