30.12.2021
“At Christmas time, so special for all Christians across the world, we express solidarity with our brothers in faith in the Holy Land, often targeted by radical groups’ attacks,” said Deputy Minister Jabłoński during a videoconference with church patriarchs of Jerusalem: Theophilos III, Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and All Palestine, and Father Francesco Patton, Custos of the Holy Land.
During the meeting, which was devoted to the situation of Christians in the Holy Land, concerns were raised about the cases of settlers’ aggression towards that group. Also discussed was potential support of the group by the international community. Polish Aid has reached the Christians in Palestine as well.
- The development and humanitarian aid projects financed with the Polish Aid fund offer an opportunity to cooperate and to support Christians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip - noted Deputy Minister Jabłoński. In 2021, the Office of Representative of the Republic of Poland in Ramallah carried out six Polish Aid projects, 50 per cent of which were measures benefitting the Christian community.
