Shafaqna English– A Palestinian Pastor has warned that Christians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip face potential extinction amid relentless Israeli assaults.
“For the second year in a row, we celebrate Easter in the shadow of genocide against the people of Gaza,” Rev. Munther Isaac, Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem and Beit Sahour in the southern West Bank, told Anadolu in an interview.
Palestine is still walking the path of sorrow, suffering from Israeli siege and apartheid policies. The same violence that killed Christ still exists in our land today.
“The people of Gaza and the church celebrate the holiday, hoping that the war will end, that light will triumph over darkness, and truth over falsehood. They endure the most difficult circumstances, with no food, no medicine, and a stifling Israeli blockade on Gaza. There are constant threats of forced displacement from the Strip.”
