Archbishop of Canterbury says Israel ‘must stop acting like it’s above the law’
The Archbishop of Canterbury has called for the “oppression, violence and discrimination” against Palestinians, including Christians, in the occupied West Bank, to stop.
“The Israeli government is not above the law and must stop acting otherwise,” the archbishop said.
He said he is praying for the families whose “ancestral land has been forcibly stolen from them”.
A post on X adds: “We continue to stand in prayerful solidarity with our Palestinian Christian sisters and brothers as they resist the injustice of occupation.”
The tweet was a repost of words by other Church of England bishops who described Israel’s actions in the West Bank as “illegal and immoral” in a letter for The Guardian.
