The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned Israeli attacks on church property in Jerusalem: We reject measures that target the character of East Jerusalem.

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry condemned “Israeli settler attacks on Greek Orthodox Patriarchate property” and warned of “the consequences of the Supreme Court ruling on church property and the Christian presence in occupied East Jerusalem.”

In a statement, he announced: “Jordan’s absolute renunciation of all measures aimed at changing the identity and character of occupied East Jerusalem, including the Old City, and changing the historical and legal status quo of Jerusalem and its holy sites, including Islamic and Christian property and donations.” , emphasizing that “Jordan stands by the people of Jerusalem and the Orthodox Church” against the attacks by the settlers.

The Israeli Supreme Court reportedly rejected the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate’s request to annul the seizure of 3 buildings by the settler organization Ateret Koenim in Bab al-Khalil in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem.
