As pressure grows on the Christian presence in Jerusalem, George Akroush, director of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem\u2019s Development Office and head of the Church\u2019s social and educational projects in the Holy Land, is warning that a series of Israeli measures affecting both land and education could reshape the city\u2019s Christian community and threaten its geographic and social continuity.<\/p>\n

Akroush\u2019s comments come amid broader concerns recently voiced by Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, over the consequences of Israeli land-registration measures and the nonrecognition of Palestinian academic qualifications.<\/p>\n

In an interview with ACI MENA<\/a>, the Arabic-language sister service of EWTN News, Akroush described a series of interconnected challenges facing Church institutions and the Christian community, especially in Jerusalem. These developments are unfolding within a complex legal and political environment in East Jerusalem, where residents and institutions face growing restrictions related to property, movement, and employment.<\/p>\n

On the issue of land, Akroush expressed deep concern over the Israeli government\u2019s February decision to resume settlement and registration procedures for lands that had not been formally recorded since before 1967. He said the mechanism, which is used to define and consolidate ownership, goes beyond a routine administrative step.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just an administrative procedure but a legal tool that could reclassify large areas as state lands,\u201d he said, warning that it \u201copens the door to the seizure of private and Church properties, fundamentally altering the reality on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

His remarks echoed concerns raised by Pizzaballa in a recent address in which the patriarch noted that many Palestinian lands have remained unregistered since before 1967, making their legal status \u201ccomplex\u201d and heightening the risks for local communities if that status changes.<\/p>\n

Akroush said the policy could reproduce conditions seen in Hebron, where the introduction of settler groups into Palestinian neighborhoods has led to persistent tension. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen settlers are placed in the heart of neighborhoods, permanent points of friction emerge, affecting daily life, the local economy, and gradually fragmenting the social fabric,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Akroush added that such policies could further isolate Jerusalem from its natural ties to Bethlehem and Ramallah, with serious consequences for community cohesion and long-term continuity. <\/p>\n

The Israeli authorities\u2019 refusal to recognize Palestinian university degrees for teachers in Jerusalem is also \u201ca serious challenge to the identity of educational institutions,\u201d Akroush said, explaining that the decision leaves Christian schools facing painful choices. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe face a reality in which schools may be compelled either to change their curricula or to lose qualified teaching staff,\u201d he said, emphasizing that these institutions serve a mission that extends well beyond denominational boundaries.<\/p>\n

Pizzaballa has likewise highlighted the schools crisis, noting that hundreds of Christian educators from Bethlehem are no longer able to reach their schools in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey will no longer be able to attend, and this will create not only financial hardships for their families but also challenges for the schools that cannot find Christian teachers,\u201d the patriarch said. \u201cThese are just examples that illustrate how complicated the situation remains for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akroush said roughly 300 Christian institutions provide a wide range of services \u2014 including education, health care, and social support \u2014 to a significant portion of the Palestinian population.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cThese institutions are not solely for Christians; they serve everyone and are a vital part of the social fabric of the Holy Land,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Akroush noted that these developments are taking place while international attention is divided by multiple regional crises, reducing global focus on Jerusalem. Recalling the 2018 closure of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in protest against similar measures, he said the current challenges \u201ctake a different form, extending beyond property to include the human resources themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding the education crisis, Akroush said barring 232 teachers from Bethlehem from reaching their schools in Jerusalem has directly affected 12 Christian schools. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese teachers are the backbone of the educational process, and their sudden absence creates a gap that is difficult to fill,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that estimates from the patriarchate and educational institutions suggest that replacing this loss of specialized teaching experience could take at least 15 years because of the unique expertise those teachers possess.<\/p>\n

Akroush said the fallout extends beyond education into the social and economic spheres, particularly at a time of limited job opportunities and rising unemployment. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a teacher loses their job without alternatives, families face difficult choices, including migration,\u201d he said, noting that young families are especially vulnerable. He stressed that the Church in the Holy Land, as Pizzaballa has repeatedly said, \u201cis not merely a guardian of sacred places but a living community serving people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTargeting schools is targeting the future,\u201d Akroush said, calling on the international community and Churches around the world to monitor developments closely, protect historic properties, and ensure teachers can reach their workplaces freely. He said the Church seeks only \u201cto preserve its natural right to remain, serve, and educate in its sacred city.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
