Present at the event were Stella Maris Monastery abbot Jean Joseph Bergara, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa, and Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III. Israel police inspector general Yaakov Shabtai also attended. Israeli President Herzog’s gesture came after Jerusalem’s leading police officials met with Christian leaders at the Tower of David museum on Aug. 8 to address the uptick in hate crimes committed against Christians in the Holy City since the beginning of the year.
“The reality presents us with many challenges, as well as despicable and shameful acts that deserve condemnation,” Turgeman said. “We are alert to this issue and address it with all the tools at our disposal.” Christians have witnessed numerous incidents of vandalism and signs of disrespect since the beginning of the year.
This was followed by instances recorded on video of extremists spitting on Catholic priests and throwing rocks at edifices.
