Church leaders in Jerusalem say that they have returned from Gaza’s journey with “broken hearts”, in which people and children have not been “batting” on the sound of bombing people and children.
Journalists said, “We have seen men holding the sun for hours in the hope of simple food.”
“This is an insult that is difficult to bear when you see it with your own eyes. It is morally unacceptable and unfair.”
Greek Orthodox Patrik, Theiofilos III stated that his church would stand in “solidarity” with “the whole people of Gaza”.
After hitting the fire of Israel at the Catholic Holi Family Church in Gaza City last week, both people made a rare journey for a war -torn strip, killing two women and one.
US President Donald Trump has said that he had angered Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the deadly strike, who came after the alleged attack by extremist Israeli settlers next to the ruins of an ancient church in the Christian village of Taybah in West Bank.
Netanyahu’s office described the Gaza Church as “a stray ammunition”.
However, local Christians have questioned whether the place of worship was deliberately targeted. Around 400 people are taking shelter in the premises, which is now in part of the city of Gaza under the withdrawal orders of Israel.
At the news conference, Pizabla said that Christians were the same as other Palestinians.
“Three people died in our community, but thousands of people already died in Gaza,” he said.
He said that the recently settled violence in Tayebih was part of the “comprehensive incident” in the West Bank, which was becoming a “no-law land”.
Although the Italian Ministry of External Affairs announced that the patriarchs had entered Gaza with 500 tonnes of assistance, Pizzalla said that “not village” was still able to enter due to logical issues.
He described the disappointment of those who came to the church expecting a handout.
Amidst some lack of the most severe food in 21 months of the war, Pizabla and Theophyllos III stated that they found “completely hungry” from people and gave an account of widespread destruction.
Pizbala said at the end of his four -day visit, “We go through the dust of the ruins, the collapsed buildings and tents everywhere: in the courtyard, in the courtyard, in the street, on the street and the beach,” Pizballa said at the end of its four -day visit. “Tents that have become homes for those who have lost everything.”
Last week, two church leaders led a delegation of foreign diplomats to Taybah in north of Ramallah, where residents and local priests described several attacks by settling.
The most serious was that the fire was next to the ruins of George’s Byzantine Church.
A police statement from Israeli said on Tuesday that a special investigative unit found that “unlike misleading reports, there was no loss” to the church. It said that the fire was limited to an adjacent open area and arson was not yet confirmed.
However, a witness told the BBC that he saw the people starting Blaze and others accused the Israeli security forces of failing to respond to their complaints.
Villagers say the extremists have seized their plots on the edge of Tabeh and regularly harassed them, causing cattle to bring their olive trees to eat.
Dawood Khori, a former mayor and co-founder of Dowd Bruri, said, “What is going on is really ridiculous and it is taking out people because Israelis have put their hands on our ground.”
He said that he is worried that extremists will be forced to migrate over the extremists and economic recession since the beginning of the Gaza war.
In an unusual step, the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Hukabi also visited Tayabe on Saturday.
In a statement, he then condemned the attack by the church as “a function of terror” and demanded “rigorous results” for those responsible.
Hukabi, who is also an Gunl Pastor, has written on X on X, who is seen as illegal under international law supporting Jewish settlements. “Age is a crime against humanity and God.”
In response to the Israeli police statement, he wrote that he did not fire any group, “Even though, it was a crime and was entitled to the result”.
At the Jerusalem press conference, Theophyllos III stated that the small Christian community should be supported to live in Gaza, “full of history” close to their holy places.
During his journey, Pizaballa told an Italian newspaper that a Catholic appearance “whatever happens” will remain in the area.
The two leaders reiterated the increasing number of international leaders for calls and Gaza ceasefire by Pope Leo and the release of the remaining hostages organized by Hamas.
“We are not against Israel,” Pijaballa said, which is known as a supporter of the Interfath Dialogue. “But we need to say with clarity and clarity, that this policy of the Israeli government in Gaza is unacceptable and morally we cannot justify it.”
