Most Rev Justin Welby told Sky News her plight is a breach of assurances made by Israel about the treatment of Christians in the region. "[I am] deeply concerned to learn that she is now facing administrative detention for four months, without charge and with no due process for her, her family or lawyers to challenge this. ... Under administrative detention, people can be held for four months and which can be renewed every four months for up to two years. Fr Fadi believes it is a sad indictment: "I think the British need to repent for that and pressure the Israelis, because administrative detention in particular is against international law. ..."

Edited in: geniuses below who learned from fifth grade dropouts apparently never read that Herodotus called the land Palestine in the fifth century BC, as did Greeks before him, and before it was called 🇮🇱 it was called Canaan by Egypt, per stele discoveries. C. 1200 BC, the land was called Palestine by the Greeks and others. Historically, before it was called 🇮🇱 it was called Canaan by Egypt. There were no modern nations states then when those names were applied, so people now can use any or all of the three to apply to the land. C. 500 BC Herodotus called it Palestine. Before him, the Greeks called the land filista and linked it with the Philistines. Caught up in this mess are Palestinian ✝️ and Messianic ✡️ in the region and both have been treated badly by 🇮🇱 and by some ☪️ govt's, as has been shown by Tucker Carlson, ✡️ academics, and MSM both L & R. Many Palestinians trace back to 3100 BC (determined by a Megiddo DNA study). About 40% of them are ✝️, so it's obvious God preserved them along with everyone else. Around 1k in Gaza are ☦️ Christians and are also caught up in this mess. In the end, palestine ✝️, be they Catholic or Greek Orthodox messianic ✡️, ☪️, and ✡️ have to learn to live side by side in a two state solution and the majority of world opinion and governments supports this.
