Jerusalem church leaders condemn recent attacks in Taybeh
Church & State
Patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem issued a statement condemning an attack by masked settlers in the Christian village of Taybeh on Saturday, October 17. The attack targeted residents harvesting olives as well as European diplomats and officials visiting the area.
The church leaders noted that the violence in Taybeh occurred during an olive harvest event coordinated with the local Latin Patriarchate parish. They described the incident as part of a wider pattern of settler violence against Palestinian villages across the West Bank during the harvest season.
The leaders urged authorities to protect residents and hold those responsible for the attacks accountable. They also expressed concern regarding a recent religious ruling that permits Jews to take olives from Palestinians.
