Today, Friday, the patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem issued an urgent appeal to stand against the mass displacement plans against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, the churches warned against US President Donald Trump's calls to displace Palestinians in Gaza to neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt, and to impose US control over the Palestinian enclave.

The statement stressed "the importance of supporting the firm positions adopted by Jordan's King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and other leaders who have demonstrated a clear and firm stance in rejecting any attempt to uproot the people of Gaza from their land."

The statement also expressed a categorical rejection of what it described as the "imminent danger" posed by "proposals for the forced mass displacement" of Palestinians in Gaza.

He considered the displacement proposal a direct attack on human dignity and basic human rights.

According to the statement, the patriarchs and heads of churches in Jerusalem issued an urgent humanitarian appeal, stressing that the magnitude of the tragedy unfolding before the world in Gaza represents a flagrant violation of the human conscience and a challenge to moral and religious values.

He continued: "Thousands of innocent lives have been lost, entire communities have been reduced to rubble, and children, the elderly, and the sick are facing indescribable suffering, a scene that encapsulates the cruelty of the tragedy endured by the people of Gaza."

The statement stressed that "the Palestinian people must not be forced to leave their homes, nor be uprooted, nor be deprived of what remains of their homes, heritage, and existence on their land."

The statement stressed that Christianity "does not permit silence in the face of such violations, but rather requires raising one's voice loudly in the face of injustice."

The patriarchs and church heads commended the role played by these leaders in raising their voices in international forums, providing humanitarian aid, and insisting on protecting civilians in Gaza.

They stressed that these efforts reflect the highest standards of responsible leadership, which rejects forced displacement and ethnic cleansing under any circumstances.

The statement considered that "there is no justification for uprooting an entire people from their land, and there is no justification for this tragedy to continue under any pretext."

The churches also emphasized that the top priority must be to open safe humanitarian corridors, without restrictions or obstacles, to ensure that urgent humanitarian aid reaches those most in need, emphasizing that abandoning Gaza at this critical time is an abandonment of our "common humanity."
