Bishops told to remove crucifixes at Jerusalem's Western Wall

from Ma'an - Irish religious leaders on a visit to the region were unable to visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem on Thursday morning after a zionist security official ordered them to remove their crucifixes, Yussef Dorkhom, Counsellor for the General Delegation of Palestine said in a press release.

The local bishop accompanying the delegation, Dr Munib Younan, told the officials the request was a breach of a protocol agreed between the zionist government, the Christian leadership in the city and the Jewish Rabbinate.
