\nAn das Nahost Referat OKR P\u00fchn<\/p>\n

Sehr geehrte Herren,
\nvermutlich vernimmt die EKD die Stellungnahmen und Hilferufe der Glaubens-Geschwister in Pal\u00e4stina zur bevorstehenden Annexion des Jordantales und der Legalisierung der illegalen israelischen Siedlungen in der Westbank – siehe im Anhang Der Appell der Kirchenf\u00fchrer Jerusalems an die internationale Gemeinschaft und der Artikel von Munther Isaac und Jamal Khader in der Haaretz vom 6.5.2020 Donald Trump Is Complicit in a Catastrophe for Christians.
\nMich w\u00fcrde, wie sicher viele andere Christinnen und Christen, interessieren, wie die EKD die verzweifelten Stimmen aus Pal\u00e4stina unterst\u00fctzt. Aus der Presse konnte ich bisher nichts entnehmen.
\ncc Schriftf\u00fchrer der BEK Pastor Kuschnerus

A Statement by the Patriarchs and Heads of the Holy Land Churches on Israeli Unilateral Annexation Plans ((May 7, 2020)<\/h1>\n

As a result of the stagnation of the Peace Process in the Middle East between the Israelis and Palestinians, an array of plans for Israel to unilaterally annex West Bank land, backed mainly by right-wing factions, raises serious and catastrophic questions about the feasibility of any peaceful agreement to end the decades\u2019 long conflict, one that continues to cost many innocent lives as part of a vicious cycle of human tragedy and injustice.<\/p>\n

The Council of Patriarchs and Heads of the Holy Land Churches views such unilateral annexation plans with the utmost concern and calls upon the State of Israel to refrain from such unilateral moves, which would bring about the loss of any remaining hope for the success of the peace process.<\/p>\n

The Council also calls upon the United States of America, the Russian Federation, the European Union, and the United Nations to respond to these unilateral annexation plans with a time-delimited and phased Peace Initiative in line with International Law and United Nations resolutions on the matter, in order to guarantee a comprehensive, just, and long-lasting peace in this part of the world that is considered Holy by the three Abrahamic Faiths.<\/p>\n

We also call upon the Palestinian Liberation Organization, as the sole legitimate Representative of the Palestinian people, to resolve its internal disputes-as well as any conflicts with other factions that are not under its umbrella-in order to present a unified front dedicated to achieving peace and the building of a viable State that is founded upon pluralism and democratic values.<\/p>\n
