Palestinian Christian body warns EU they are under existential threat A delegation from the Higher Presidential Committee for Church Affairs in Palestine warned European Union officials that current Israeli policies pose a grave threat to the survival of the historic Palestinian Christian presence in the region, Wafa news reports. During a meeting in Brussels, organised in cooperation with the Mission of the State of Palestine to the EU, Reverend Dr Mitri Raheb highlighted the dramatic decline in the Palestinian Christian population and drew attention to the targeting of churches, Christian institutions and educational facilities in Gaza. Raheb called on the EU to adopt clearer and more decisive positions in defence of international law, human rights, and accountability, adding that protecting the Palestinian Christian community is a moral, humanitarian and international responsibility.
