Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem have issued a clarification statement regarding their recent meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Thursday, 21 December 2023.

The statement (full text attached) emphasized that “the meeting was not a mere exchange of Holiday Season pleasantries but aimed at conveying the global ecclesiastical stance, demanding, on behalf of Christians worldwide, an immediate cessation of the bloodshed in Gaza. Additionally, it addressed the plight of civilians, the restrictions on movement imposed in the West Bank, especially those around Bethlehem during the holiday season”.
