Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh affirmed, today, Wednesday, that the Israeli attacks on holy sites do not differentiate between Christianity and Islam, whether in Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and all Palestinian lands, as the occupation, with its measures, targets the Christian and Islamic presence in the Holy Land.

This came during his reception in his office in Ramallah, a delegation from the Council of the Federation of Hungarian Churches, in coordination with the Higher Presidential Committee for Church Affairs Follow-up, in the presence of the Hungarian Ambassador to the State of Palestine Csaba Rada.

Shtayyeh briefed the delegation on the conditions and developments that our issue is going through, and the Israeli measures that are destructive to the two-state solution, on top of which is settlement expansion, stressing that the solution to the conflict is ending the occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state.

He stressed the importance of strengthening relations and building bridges between the two peoples, and encouraging tourism to Palestine and religious visits.
