The holy places remain alive through the people of Holy City who worship therein to God, through prayers and prostrations, pilgrimage and seeking of blessings. Without the people, holy shrines would become museums rather than houses of invocation. No international, Arab, Christian or Muslim authority can dispose of Jerusalem's Christian-Muslim character. We are indignant by Israel's provocative actions which drive Jerusalemites, Christians and Muslims alike, to emigrate. Jerusalem is turned into a confiscated city while its vocation, in view of its sanctity, history and significance, its to be a piece of encounter for all, Faced with this situation, we cannot but appeal to the whole world, as we bear trust for our people, their rights and their land.
Peace is the fruit of justice.
Peace cannot rest, nor will it endure, upon injustice and oppression. On the basis of our commitment to the cause of Jerusalem, We call upon all Christians and Muslims of the World to support the legitimate Palestinian rights. We call upon all the churches and Islamic bodies and organizations to look with concern to the freedom of Jerusalem and not to spare any effort, in all respects, so that justice may prevail. We call upon Arab governemts Palestinian National Authority, to unify their positions concerning Jerusalem, a historical trust for the Arabs and all people of faith throughout the world, and to intensify their defense of the Arab Character of Jerusalem and its religious pluralism raising it to the stature befitting this blessed city. Israel should fully recognize the rights of the Palestinians people.
