The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz reported, on Thursday, that it was decided to move a conference on Israeli attacks against Christians that was scheduled to be held tomorrow, Friday, in the hall of the Tower of David Museum in occupied Jerusalem, to another place in the Old City, due to pressure exerted by the city’s municipality affiliated with the Israeli authorities, on the management of the place. .

The Hebrew newspaper quoted several sources as saying that the office of the mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Lion, threatened to dismiss the executive director of the museum if the conference was held there.

Lyon's office denied the reports and said there had been no threats.

The newspaper indicates that the conference will be held due to the increase in the number of attacks by settlers and Israeli police against Christians in Jerusalem, which included spitting, verbal abuse, physical violence, vandalism of graves and dissemination of hate messages.
