Father Atallah Hanna has strongly denounced the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) for appropriating hundreds of dunums of Palestinian land in Bethlehem accusing it of stealing the Palestinian land in full view of the whole world.
In press remarks on Thursday Father Hanna Archbishop of the Palestinian Orthodox Church in Occupied Jerusalem described such Israeli step as part of the Zio-American plans aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause and ending the possibility of establishing an independent Palestinian state.
He urged the Palestinians from all spectra to close ranks and end their differences to confront the serious challenges and conspiracies targeting Jerusalem and all areas of Palestine.
