Heads of Jerusalem Churches implore political leaders to reach agreement for peace in Holy Land
The Catholic Church
In a joint statement, released on Monday, 26 August, the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem have once again raised their voices collectively to call for peace in Gaza and the wider Holy Land.
The leaders urge a “rapid agreement for a ceasefire resulting in the end of the war, the release of all captives, the return of the displaced, the treatment of the sick and wounded, the relief of those who hunger and thirst, and the rebuilding of all public and private civilian structures that have been destroyed.”
