The auxiliary bishop of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem has said that attacks against Christians in the West Bank are increasing.
“The number of attacks on Christians in the West Bank is increasing,” Auxiliary Bishop William Shomali of Jerusalem said on March 20 to EWTN. “The aggressions against Christians in the West Bank are multiplying.”
The bishop’s remarks point to a worsening situation for Palestinian Christian communities, with incidents no longer isolated but occurring across multiple locations. He described a pattern of intimidation by Israeli settlers, including threats, physical aggression and damage to property, which is increasingly restricting access to land and undermining a sense of security.
