The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem, including Archbishop Hosam, have issued a Valentines Day message in support of the people of Gaza
Titled, 'A Humanitarian Plea,' the statement makes the continued call for a permanent peace and the release of captives from both sides. However its main thrust is a response to any suggestions that the people of Gaza could be 'forced into exile.' The statement welcomes the concern of the King of Jordan and President of Egypt that the people should not be forced to leave their land, and quotes the prophet Isaiah, "Woe to those who make unjust laws."
The full text of the message is printed below.
