(LifeSiteNews) — Catholic and Orthodox bishops and other heads of churches in the Holy Land issued a statement charging Israeli authorities with facilitating repeated Israeli settler terrorist attacks upon Christians and other Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

After a second assault upon the Christian town of Taybeh in as many weeks on Monday, the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem (PHCJ) issued a statement decrying the “prevailing climate of impunity” for such crimes of aggression by Israeli settlers backed by Israeli authorities who fail to hold these terrorists accountable.

The prelates, including Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, expressed their “unwavering condemnation following yet another violent assault” against the Christians in this town. “Several vehicles were set ablaze, and hateful graffiti was sprayed — an unambiguous act of intimidation directed at a peaceful and faithful community rooted in the land of Christ.”
