ROME – After a disputed incident in which more than 100 Palestinians were killed while attempting to access humanitarian aid in Gaza, church leaders in Jerusalem have condemned what they described as a “wanton attack” and called for a ceasefire.
In a March 1 statement, the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem pointed to the incident on 29 February, saying that “in the aftermath of yesterday’s horrifying events and their cruel context, we, the patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem, condemn the wanton attack against innocent civilians.”
