According to the heads of Christian churches, there is a lack of justice and respect for human rights in the Holy Land.
This and the ongoing political conflict have led to the current violence, they said in a joint statement issued in Jerusalem on Sunday. They call for efforts to end violence and establish a just and lasting peace.
“Any action directed against civilians, regardless of nationality, ethnicity or faith, violates the basic principles of humanity and the doctrine of love for neighbor,” the statement read.
Church leaders called on the parties to the conflict to immediately end the violence affecting civilians on both sides of the conflict. They said it was necessary to “engage in genuine dialogue and seek lasting solutions that promote justice, peace and reconciliation for the people of this country who have borne the burden of conflict for too long.”

Since Saturday morning, the radical Islamist Hamas has fired approximately 3,000 rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip; Hamas militants attacked several Israeli cities and kidnapped civilians. According to reports from Israeli television stations, the number of Israelis killed rose to 600 on Sunday afternoon. More than 2,000 people were injured. According to Palestinian sources, Israel responded with airstrikes on targets in the Gaza Strip, killing more than 300 people and wounding nearly 2,000 others. Rocket fire and Israeli counterattacks continue.
The Israeli government’s security cabinet approved the decree on the state of war and the related start of military operations on Saturday evening, the Israeli government news agency reported on Sunday. According to reports from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the Security Cabinet statement will be submitted to the relevant parliamentary committee for approval on Monday before being announced to the parliament, the Knesset.
The current escalation of violence follows weeks of tense situations on the border with the Gaza Strip and in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. According to media reports, even before the current rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip began, approximately 27 Israeli civilians and three soldiers have been killed in Palestinian attacks since the beginning of this year.
