Holy Land Christians Suffer Under New Government, Says Latin Patriarch.

The Latin patriarch of the Roman Catholic Church in the Holy Land, Pierbattista Pizzaballa, has warned that the rise of Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right government has made life worse for Christians in the region. The Christian community has come under increasing attack, with extremists harassing clergy and vandalizing religious property at a quickening pace. The uptick in anti-Christian incidents also comes as right-wing groups, galvanized by their allies in government, appear to have seized the moment to expand efforts to establish Jewish enclaves in the Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem.
